MADRID (AP) — Jorge Sampaoli’s second stint as Sevilla coach is over. Sevilla has fired the Argentine coach two days after a 2-0 loss at relegation-threatened Getafe in the Spanish league. Former Eibar and Alaves coach José Luis Mendilibar has been hired as Sampaoli’s replacement. Sampaoli leaves with Sevilla in 14th place in the Spanish league. It is two points from the relegation zone. The traditional club from southern Spain has won one of its last five league games, with three losses and a draw. It will face Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the Europa League next month.
