Jiménez, sacked during the season
During 23 March's midnight, Sevilla's directive accorded to sack Manolo Jiménez after the draw obtained against Xerez, as Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo (also known as Monchi) assured to press.

Among the most significant causes include:


 * The aggregate defeat playing in Round of 16 in Champions League against CSKA Moscow.
 * The number of 3 points out of 15 between matchdays 24 and 28.
 * The image given by the players from the 12th matchday against Málaga (on 28 November 2009).
 * The loss of a style of play that took the team under the leadership of another managers (mainly between 2005–2007).
 * The constants injuries suffered by important players such as Luís Fabiano, Jesús Navas or Diego Capel.
 * The dialectical clash between Jiménez and Ramón Orellana (Sevilla FC's physical preparer) during a training season in January.

The directive was searching a new team manager for the last part of the season in foreign countries, but Antonio Álvarez will lead the team from 24 March to the end of the season. On the directive's search, Luis Aragonés and Laurent Blanc had many chances to become the new manager of Sevilla, but for the disagreement with the contract offered by José María del Nido, none of them had taken the job except Álvarez.
