The arrival of Matías Almeyda to the bench of Sevilla FC generated excitement after the suffering of the past season, but at this point, serious alarm signals are already emerging. The Argentine coach started with an impactful victory against FC Barcelona, but that initial light is starting to waver.

Inconsistent results and the inevitable comparison with the management of Javier García Pimienta leave Sevilla with a worse start in this La Liga edition than a year ago.

Worse start than with García Pimienta

During the previous season, Sevilla under García Pimienta's command had accumulated 15 points by the eleventh matchday. In contrast, the current team led by Almeyda has stayed at 13 points after falling into a concerning streak of results.

The calendar presents an almost exact parallel between both projects. Both teams played at San Mamés: Pimienta drew, Almeyda lost. They faced Barcelona: victory for the Argentine, defeat for the Catalan. And in their duels against Villarreal, both came out empty-handed.

Only the derby against Real Betis Balompié marks a difference in the calendar. García Pimienta had already won his, while Almeyda is still awaiting that crucial commitment that could define a turning point in his continuity.

The numbers are clear: as of today, Almeyda has two points less than his predecessor. A detail that is beginning to worry the board and a fan base that expected to see more evolution after the change of coach.

Almeyda's delicate moment

At the start, Almeyda managed to string together two consecutive victories, something García Pimienta never achieved during his brief tenure. However, the momentum has vanished. Sevilla has suffered three consecutive defeats in La Liga, and nervousness is growing around the team.

Pimienta was dismissed after four consecutive stumbles. For now, it doesn't seem like there will be the same impatience in acting, but the margin for error is minimal. Almeyda needs to reverse the situation before the next international break, or his position could become risky.

The Sevillian entity appreciates the coach's dedication, his motivating discourse, and his intention to restore the competitive identity, but results are what matter. And in Nervión, points are the only guarantee of stability.

What is failing in Almeyda's Sevilla?

The mix of demand and reality is weighing more than expected. Almeyda arrived with the mission to rebuild a team that narrowly avoided relegation last season, promising intensity, character, and commitment.

However, the current Sevilla displays worrying cracks. There is a lack of defensive solidity and attacking clarity. High pressure is easily neutralized, and opponents exploit the spaces left by a team still lacking balance.

The Argentine coach has emphasized that "mentality will be the key to reversing this situation." But La Liga does not allow time for reflection: results dictate, and patience has an expiration date.

The dressing room supports the coach, although the wear and tear are starting to show. Almeyda is seeking a turning point to reinvigorate the group and restore the confidence that was shown in the early matchdays.

What Sevilla expects

The club needs an immediate reaction. Miracles are not requested, but signs of progress are. Almeyda must regain defensive solidity, make the most of the attacking talent of his players, and, above all, halt the string of defeats.

The comparison with García Pimienta does not play in his favor. If the previous project was considered insufficient, this one must demonstrate as soon as possible that it has a future.

In a club accustomed to demand, time is measured in points, not promises. The upcoming matches will be decisive for the coach's future. If he fails to change course, his continuity will be complicated.

The challenge is set: in the Nervión dugout, Matías Almeyda walks on an increasingly thin line, aware that only victories can sustain his project.
