Former Chile national team coach Jorge Sampaoli is poised to replace Unai Emery as the head coach of Sevilla, the Spanish club has announced.
Emery joined Sevilla in 2013 and has since led the club to a record three consecutive Europa League titles, most recently beating Liverpool 3-1 in Basel last month.
The 44-year-old coach has informed the Los Rojiblancos of his wish to leave the club and both the parties have now agreed to terminate the Spaniard’s contract.
A statement on Sevilla’s website reads: “Sevilla FC have received official notice from Unai Emery’s lawyers that his intention is to proceed the unilateral termination of his contract with Sevilla FC.
