Antonio Cordón has made a move. The new sporting director of Sevilla FC has not taken long to make a crucial decision for the club's immediate future: Matías Almeyda will be the next coach of the Nervión team. After several days of intense conversations and assessments, the Argentine has been chosen to lead the new sports project.
Although Imanol Alguacil was a real option, and optimism surrounded the negotiations for days, the complicated institutional situation, both financially and athletically, has ended up distancing the Basque coach from the Sánchez-Pizjuán. All signs point to his future lying in Saudi Arabia, where he was also sought.

In this scenario, according to the newspaper AS, Cordón has chosen Almeyda, who has experience in various international coaching positions such as Chivas, River Plate, Banfield, or AEK Athens, his latest team. Additionally, he has a special connection with the Andalusian club, as he wore the Sevilla shirt as a player in the 90s.
Almeyda arrives with clear conditions: an extensive coaching staff, a direct influence in squad building, and a contract commensurate with his status. He is not a coach who merely follows orders but seeks decision-making power and actively participates in sports planning. This way of working may create tensions, but Cordón is aware that Sevilla needs leadership and personality on the sidelines.
