Sevilla, a prominent club in Spain’s La Liga, has officially announced the departure of a significant figure from its executive team. Antonio Cordón, who was appointed as the club’s Director of Football last summer, has seen his contract mutually terminated.
Cordón’s tenure with Sevilla was marked by considerable criticism from the club’s fanbase, largely due to the team’s struggle to avoid relegation throughout the recent season. Reports also suggest that Cordón experienced a strained working relationship with other members of the club’s board at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.
These internal dynamics have seemingly led to the swift exit of the 62-year-old. A statement released by Sevilla via their official website and social media channels confirmed the agreement:
“Sevilla FC and Antonio Cordón have mutually agreed to terminate the employment relationship of the club’s Director of Football. Both parties have agreed to end his contract after the 2025/26 season, which concluded with the team securing its place in La Liga. The agreement will take effect on May 31, at the close of the current La Liga season.”
