Official: Barca Announce New Signing
According to Estadio Deportivo, Sevilla have approached the former Tottenham Hotspur and PSG manager as they look for ways to rectify what has been a disastrous start to the season.
The record UEFA Europa League winners have only managed to record one point from their opening four games of the league campaign, and now face a tough run of fixtures in the Spanish top flight, with matches against Espanyol, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid coming up.
The Andalusian club's solitary point this season came against Valladolid, either side of losses to Osasuna and Almeria, while a 3-0 loss to Barcelona on the weekend has now casted doubt over Julen Lopetegui's future at the Roman Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
Pochettino is without a club after being relieved of his duties by PSG prior to the 2022/23 season, and is reportedly on a one-year sabbatical, while it has also been claimed he turned down the opportunity to become head coach of Athletic Bilbao in recent weeks.
It is said that Sevilla sporting director Monchi is in the process of weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of firing Lopetegui, who still has two years remaining on his contract.
The Spanish manager approved six signings in the latest transfer window, including the free-transfer swoops for Isco and Adnan Januzaj, and he could yet turn things around as his new-look side continues to gel.
However, things do not get any easier for Lopetegui as Sevilla will face Manchester City in their opening game of this season's UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
