Sevilla sack Michel, appoint Emery

Michel was relieved of his duties after a 2-0 defeat at Valencia, ironically the team Emery managed until last season, after which he left to join Spartak Moscow. That spell did not last long though.

“Unai Emery is Sevilla FC’s new coach for the rest of this season and one more campaign, replacing Michel, who has been sacked today due to the first team’s poor run of results,” Sevilla said in a statement on their website (www.sevillafc.es).
