Quique Sanchez Flores Appointed Sevilla Boss

Spaniard Quique Sanchez Flores has taken over as the new coach of Sevilla, the club announced on Monday. "We have reached an agreement for Quique Sanchez Flores to become our new head coach, signing until 2025," wrote the club in an announcement on its website. The 58-year-old former Atletico Madrid boss arrives at the struggling Andalusian side, following Saturday's sacking of coach Diego Alonso. Despite only arriving in October, replacing Jose Luis Mendilibar who led the team to a record-extending seventh Europa League triumph in May, Alonso was dismissed in the wake of a 3-0 home defeat by Getafe.

Ex-player Sanchez Flores spent 10 years at Valencia, before signing for Real Madrid in 1994 and ending his career three years later at Real Zaragoza.

As a coach, his greatest success came in 2010 when his Atletico Madrid side, boasting stars Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan, won the Europa League.

He most recently served as coach of Getafe until April this year. His previous managerial roles include Valencia, Benfica, Espanyol and two brief spells at Premier League side Watford.

Sevilla have had a difficult start to the season and after being eliminated from all European competition, by finishing bottom of their Champions League group, they also sit just above the drop zone in La Liga.

Sanchez Flores will be in the hot seat for Sevilla's next match, a relegation six-pointer at 19th-place Granada on Tuesday.

Barcelona Coach Xavi Banned For Two Games For Red Card In Season Opener

File image of Xavi Hernandez © AFP Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will serve a two-match suspension after being sent off in his team's La Liga season opener against Getafe, it was announced Wednesday. Xavi was punished for his touchline behaviour during Sunday's 0-0 draw at Getafe, in which Barcelona winger Raphinha also received a red card in the first half for elbowing an opponent. Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi was dismissed with 20 minutes to play after leaving his technical area to remonstrate with the fourth official over a refereeing decision. Referee Cesar Soto Grado said in his report that he had already warned Xavi, who was critical of the officiating in his post-match press conference. Xavi and Raphinha will both miss Sunday's game against Cadiz and the trip to Villarreal on August 27.
