The relationship between Xavi García Pimienta and the leadership of Sevilla has begun to show cracks that could jeopardize his continuity in the Seville dugout. Despite maintaining a low profile for months, the coach could not hide his disappointment after the close of the winter transfer window, where he expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of reinforcements in key positions. Particularly concerning was the absence of a left-back and a creative midfielder, two priorities which the coach deemed essential for improving the team's performance.

Gaps emerge between García Pimienta and the board

According to reports from the newspaper AS, García Pimienta's criticisms have not been well received by the board, where both the president, José María del Nido Carrasco, and the sporting director, Víctor Orta, are beginning to view the coach's management in a different light. Even Gaby Ruiz, a close collaborator of Orta, hinted in recent statements at a stance different from the coach's, affirming that the team has sufficient resources, but it is necessary to use them correctly.

Despite García Pimienta's recent contract extension until 2027, his future is not guaranteed. The final year of his contract can be terminated without penalty, potentially paving the way for his exit if tensions persist. With the team still in an uncertain position in LaLiga, any misstep could hasten a change in the dugout.
