García Pimienta is now recent history on the Sevilla bench. The Catalan coach, who had recently been renewed, has not been able to reverse a situation that became critical with a streak of four consecutive defeats in the most delicate stretch of the season. The Sevillian board, concerned about the team's proximity to the relegation positions—just seven points above—has decided to dispense with his services in an attempt to urgently change the dynamic.

The cost of García Pimienta's departure

Although the dismissal was expected by many sectors of the Sevillian environment, the economic cost that this decision implies is still surprising. García Pimienta, despite having signed a long-term contract, has agreed to give up one of the signed years, a gesture that has partly relieved the club's financial burden. However, the club will have to pay him a sum close to two million euros as compensation for his early departure.

The decision to interrupt the technical project of the former Barcelona B coach reflects the increasing fear of a downturn that could jeopardize the club's stability. The sports management has deemed that expenditure preferable to continuing with a coaching staff incapable of correcting the course in a critical phase of the season. Environmental pressure and poor collective performance have been decisive factors in taking this drastic measure.

Now, the Sevilla board has decided to trust Joaquín Caparrós. The decision to dismiss García Pimienta has sparked debate, but the club believes that assuming that economic cost was necessary to try to prevent an even more painful outcome. Meanwhile, the team must react quickly if they want to avoid jeopardizing their stay in the top division.
