The coach, who has already extended his contract until 2024, has the best winning percentage in the history of the Andalusian club
Julen lopetegui will blow out the candles on your 100 games in front of Sevilla in the game next Monday in Bullets before him Celtic. The first gift that the Basque coach expects is the victory of his men in Vigo, territory where they were defeated last season and in which they hope to continue with the good dynamics of the Nervionense team in the search for the podium of LaLiga, in an exciting final sprint of the championship. The Sevilla coach is not a man to stand in numbers or statistics, embracing the day to day, without looking back, but his numbers in Nervión have placed it, with such a significant number of parties, such as the coach with the best percentage of victories in the history of the Seville club.
There is nothing. Their global numbers are 59 wins, 21 draws, 19 defeats, with a 59.6% of matches won and having already tasted the honeys of a title in the Europa League, another end of the European Super Cup and he was very close to getting into the Cup, although he finally stayed at the finish line. Lopetegui has helped the transformation in record time of a Seville that continued to attend its appointment with the European competitions, but whose squad was decreasing in level and whose downhill pace was important. The return of Monchi the Sports Directorate and its commitment to Lopetegui have once again catapulted Sevilla.
And you just have to see which coaches Julen rubs shoulders with. Juande Ramos (57.1%), Manolo Jiménez (54.4%), Helenio Herrera (52.1%) and Unai Emery (51.7%). Some of them with more titles than Lopetegui behind them even. They were different teams, with different players and in little similar historical moments. Lopetegui’s task is to ensure that the success of Sevilla is not a flower of a day in terms of qualifying for the Champions League, but settle the club among the top four in Spain for several seasons. That these revenues from European competition allow sustained growth over time.
Also for this reason the club did not hesitate for a second to offer an extension of his contract to Lopetegui, who welcomed him as a true sign of confidence. Monchi had signed a three-year contract upon his arrival (2022), a long relationship never before executed by the sports director at Sevilla. Now, on top of it, it lasted two more years, making it clear that your five-year project can only have one captain. The man who is helping to turn players like Koundé, En-Nesyri, Bono or Jordán into stars. A hardworking coach, studious and with ancestry over the group. Lopetegui will blow out the candles for his 100 games. He has many more to blow.
