It seems like a matter of hours before Julen Lopetegui will be dismissed as Sevilla coach, and rumors about his possible replacements have increased in recent days.
These are the three coaches who sound the most to take charge of Sevilla:
Marcelo Bielsa is the most acclaimed by the fans. The Argentine is an ideal coach to completely rebuild the team. He already did it at Athletic Club and at Leeds United, and in both teams he is considered one of the best coaches in their history. His idea of free and offensive football would be very well received by the fans of a Sevilla that has spent almost a year without playing anything at all. He also has enough staff to implement his game idea without the need for signings.
The problem with Marcelino is that he would need more solid central defenders to apply his idea of the game. His approach is much more tactical and based on not making mistakes. His great project in recent years was Valencia. He ended up going out the back door with problems with the board, but the team he formed at Mestalla was exceptional. It was the only team capable of stealing a Copa del Rey from Barcelona in the years of its absolute cupbearing dominance.
Mauricio Pochettino is undoubtedly a magnificent coach, but in recent years he has not been able to infect any of his teams. His most successful stretch was Tottenham, and unlike this Sevilla had an extraordinary defensive solidity. Of the three that we have mentioned, it is the one with the fewest ballots to end up taking the position.
From 90min we bet on Marcelo Bielsa. The “crazy” would fit perfectly with the harmony of the stadium and if he manages to make the team start to work defensively he can build something big. The Seville team has enough quality players for Bielsa to implement the idea of him.
