Sevilla, Manchester United’s CL opponents in the Round of 16, were thrashed 5-1 by Eibar earlier today as the pressure mounted on new manager Vincenzo Montella. Italian gaffer Montella, who took over the reigns at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan from Eduardo Berizzo, has picked up only four points out of a possible 15 as Sevilla league manager (all fixtures against teams below them in the table), and his short tenure has already seen opposition teams score five goals TWICE against the Andalusian giants.
Here are the results for Sevilla in the league under former Milan boss Montella. To his credit, he did orchestrate a Spanish Cup quarterfinal win over Atleti, but unless he turns things around, Sevilla could be in serious danger of missing out on the CL next season.
Sevilla’s league results under Montella
Sevilla 3-5 Real Betis
Alaves 1-0 Sevilla
Espanyol 0-3 Sevilla (only Montella league win)
Sevilla 1-1 Getafe
Eibar 5-1 Sevilla
