Super Eagles duo Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke will work with a new boss as Sevilla have appointed Luis García Plaza as their head coach, replacing Matías Almeyda who was sacked on Monday.
The swift appointment was announced by the club in a statement released on Tuesday, confirming that the former Alavés manager will be in charge until 2027.
“Sevilla FC have reached an agreement with Madrid-born coach Luis García Plaza (01/12/1972), who will take charge of the first team until 2027,” the club announced on their official website.
Luis García brings a wealth of experience, having managed extensively in Spain and abroad. His coaching journey began at a young age after a premature retirement from playing due to injury, with early roles at lower-division sides paving the way for opportunities at clubs such as Villarreal B and Elche.
