Luis García Plaza Appointed Sevilla Coach

Sevilla have named 53‑year‑old Luis García Plaza as their new manager, signing him until 2027 as the club battles to avoid relegation in the last nine games.

Sevilla confirmed the appointment of Luis García Plaza as head coach, effective this Wednesday. The 53‑year‑old Spaniard will lead the team for the remainder of the season, with a contract running through 2027.

The club, currently three points above the relegation zone, is in a severe sporting and institutional crisis. Management hopes García Plaza can steer Sevilla clear of the drop in the final nine fixtures.
