Sevilla have sacked manager Manolo Jimenez after their winless run stretched to seven games with a 1-1 home draw to bottom placed Xerez.
According to a statement on the Sevilla's website, Nacho Oria and Ramon Orellana, members of Jimenez's coaching staff, will take charge of training until a new coach is appointed.
In his first season in charge, Jimenez led Sevilla to a fifth-place finish in La Liga, and last year he guided them to third spot and a return to the Champions League. In Europe this season, Sevilla cruised through the group stages of the Champions League, picking up 13 points from their six Group G matches to finish four points clear of second-placed Stuttgart.
Sevilla then recorded a promising 1-1 draw away to CSKA Moscow in the first leg of their last-16 tie before slumping to a 2-1 defeat in the return meeting at home last week.
