Sergio Ramos' Sevilla: Coaching Candidates for Next Season

The bench is currently the first stone of the Sevilla of Sergio Ramos. With the season concluding on May 20, 2026, the upcoming match against Celta de Vigo will mark the end of a League campaign filled with tense moments, where relegation loomed closer than ever. Barring any surprises, a new era will begin for the Nervión club with Sergio Ramos at the helm, once the acquisition is finalized before a notary.

A new working group is set to commence, with the first task being to determine who will occupy the white-and-red bench next season. Luis García Plaza fulfilled the objective for which he was hired, which could entail an automatic renewal for another season. However, his continuity is far from guaranteed. "I have a contract, but one must be where one is wanted. I want to stay, but if they don’t want me, I have no problem leaving. I have trained for over 20 years, with promotions and stay achievements in my resume, and I need to feel wanted. If not, it’s no problem to pack my bags. And if they want me to stay, I hope not to suffer as much next year,” he commented after the match against Real Madrid.

Next week will see the resolution of his future. Should the new owners opt for a change in the bench, several names have already emerged as possibilities, with a clear favorite being José Bordalás. Although he has previously been linked with Sevilla, the current circumstances could be favorable for his recruitment this time. Alongside the Alicante native, Canal Sur has indicated the names of Marcelino García Toral and Ernesto Valverde.

Bordalás has opted not to comment on his future. The Getafe faces Osasuna this upcoming Saturday in the last match, which will determine its Conference League qualification, and that is where his focus lies. After that, he believes his cycle as azulón has ended, and among the options he considers—including Espanyol, coached by Monchi—the Sevilla has consistently been a potential destination.

With a change in ownership, the possibility of building a long-term project from scratch could be the deciding factors in persuading him to accept the challenge of revitalizing Sevilla to its former glory. The countdown has officially begun.
