  WHAT HAPPENED?

  After a series of poor results this season that saw Sevilla win just two out of their last 13 matches across all competitions, the club have decided to sack their manager Diego Alonso. The decision came in the aftermath of the club's humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Getafe on Saturday where former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood scored and provided an assist.
