Relegation-threatened Sevilla fired coach Jorge Sampaoli on Tuesday and appointed Jose Luis Mendilibar as his replacement until the end of the season.
The La Liga side sacked Jorge Sampaoli following following their 2-0 defeat to Getafe on Sunday - their fourth defeat in last seven league games.
The result saw Sevilla drop to 14th place in La Liga, with the Andalusian side now just two points above the relegation zone.
Sevilla have been able to put their disastrous league season to one side in Europe.
The record six-time Europa League winners are set to face Manchester United in the last eight of the competition next month.
