MADRID (AP) — Sevilla says it has fired coach Pablo Machin, a day after the team was eliminated from the Europa League.
Sevilla says it is letting Machin go because of "the poor results by the team in recent weeks."
The club made the decision after Sevilla lost in the last 16 at Czech club Slavia Prague 4-3. It conceded a last-minute goal in extra time to go out 6-5 on aggregate.
Sevilla has also lost six of its last nine Spanish league matches, falling into sixth place and out of the top four spots that earn Champions League berths.
