Sevilla have hired Julen Lopetegui as manager.

Lopetegui was fired as manager of Spain on the eve of the World Cup after he agreed to replace Zinedine Zidane as manager of Real Madrid. Lopetegui was fired by Real Madrid in October following a poor start to the season and a 5-1 loss to Barcelona.

Sevilla finished sixth in La Liga last season and sacked Pablo Machin in March after their Europa League exit.
