Jose Luis Mendilibar 'to be appointed as Sevilla head coach until the end of the season to replace Jorge Sampaoli', ahead of the struggling La Liga side facing Man United in the Europa League quarter-finals next month

Sevilla have reportedly reached an agreement with Jose Luis Mendilibar to become the club's third head coach of the season.

The La Liga side expected to sack Jorge Sampaoli following following their 2-0 defeat to Getafe on Sunday.

The result saw Sevilla drop to 14th place in La Liga, with the Andalusian side now just two points above the relegation zone.

Sevilla have been able to put their disastrous league season to one side in Europe.

The record six-time Europa League winners are set to face Manchester United in the last eight of the competition next month.
