It is said that coaches' bags are always packed. One Sunday the supporters deify the person, the next Sunday they start cursing the same person to leave. Such uphill and downhill life is the destiny of coaches. Every season they take charge of a team with the dream of doing something big, but many have to leave with those dreams in the middle of the season.

Some leave their jobs to take charge of other teams, but in most cases the coaches have to leave after layoffs. Europe's top five leagues have seen 20 coaches resign so far, with Sevilla coach Diego Alonso the latest addition to the list. This coach was sacked after 67 days of taking charge due to the team's continuous failure.

Sevilla handed over Alonso last October. But since his arrival, the club has managed to win just two matches in La Liga. In the current season in La Liga, Sevilla is number 16 with 13 points from 2 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses in 16 matches. With such performance, the club is now in danger of relegation. Cadiz, who are 18th in the relegation zone, now have 13 points from 16 matches.
Even across all competitions, Sevilla have won just 2 of their last 13 matches. In this, the club has been knocked out from the bottom of the group stage of the Champions League. Sevilla did not win any of the 6 matches played in the group stage. There are 4 losses against two draws. It would be unusual for the team to have responsibility after such a performance. Sevilla finally sent him off after yesterday's 3-0 loss to Getafe.

Sevilla's season is not going well: AFP

Sevilla announced their decision shortly after the match ended. In a statement they said, 'Diego Alonso has been relieved of his duties. We thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”

Meanwhile, Sevilla has not yet announced who will replace Alonso. Sevilla will play their next match against Granada next Tuesday in La Liga. 6 coaches have been sacked in La Liga so far, including Alonso. Even Sevilla and Villarreal have retrenched two coaches each. Earlier, Villarreal sacked Quique Setien and Pacheta, Almeria sacked Vincent Moreno, Sevilla sacked Jose Luis Mendiliver and Granada sacked Paco Lopez.
