Spanish side Sevilla have parted ways with manager Eduardo Berizzo just days after the 48-year-old returned to the club after having prostate cancer surgery.
A statement on the club's website read: "The Board of Directors has taken the decision to dismiss the coach of the first team, Eduardo Berizzo, due to the team's bad run.
"Sevilla FC would like to express their gratitude to Eduardo Berizzo for his professionalism and dedication shown in the performance of his work, as well as for the good treatment given to all members of the club since his arrival."
Berizzo, a former Argentina defender, was appointed by the club in May of this year, but has already been relieved of his post, despite Sevilla being just two points behind Real Madrid in the Primera Division standings.
