Sevilla sack manager Julen Lopetegui after Champions League defeat.
Following Borussia Dortmund’s victory over Sevilla on Wednesday in the Champions League, Julen Lopetegui was fired by Sevilla.
After taking over as Sevilla’s manager in June 2019, Lopetegui guided the team to the Europa League championship in 2020.
However, the Spanish team has only had one victory this year, and their loss to Dortmund was their sixth setback in 10 games across all competitions.
The former Spain and Real Madrid boss is one of the potential candidates to replace Bruno Lage at Wolves.
Before accepting the position as Spain’s manager in the summer of 2016, the 56-year-old spoke with the Premier League, and owners Fosun are still impressed.

Recall, Wolves sacked Lage last weekend after a 2-0 defeat at West Ham left the club in the Premier League relegation zone.
Despite the loss to Dortmund, Lopetegui received a standing ovation from the Sevilla fans as he left the field on Wednesday night.
He gave an interview to Spanish TV channel Movistar shortly before his sacking was officially announced by the club, stating he was grateful to “the whole of Sevilla”.
“[I feel] sadness and pain for leaving a team that I love very much and which will, without a doubt, stay in my heart,” Lopetegui said.
“I have already said goodbye to the players. It is not time to talk about being disrespected. I’m thankful for all that I have achieved in this club.”
However, He leaves Sevilla in 17th place in the La Liga standings and just one point clear of the relegation zone.
