Luis García Plaza

Luis García Plaza, a 53-year-old coach from Madrid, has been appointed as the new head coach of Sevilla FC. He replaces Matías Almeyda, who was recently sacked after a defeat against Valencia left Sevilla dangerously close to the relegation zone. García Plaza's appointment comes at a critical time for the Andalusian club, which is facing both sporting and institutional crises. He has signed a contract until June 2027, contingent on successfully keeping Sevilla in La Liga. With only nine games remaining in the season, García Plaza's immediate goal is to steer the team away from the relegation battle. This marks his return to coaching, and he becomes the ninth manager to take charge at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium in the last four years, highlighting the club's recent instability.
