La Liga side Sevilla have sacked manager Eduardo Berizzo just one week after the tactician returned from cancer surgery.

The club announced the news in a statement on Friday. According to Robbie Dunne of AS English, he had only just returned to the bench:

Per the statement, Sevilla have already started searching for a new manager, and an official announcement should follow after the winter break ends Jan. 5. The club cited a "poor run of results" as the reason behind the sacking following a winless run of three matches in La Liga.
