Data exposes Sevilla FC's four-season collapse

Sevilla FC reached the final five rounds of La Liga 2025-26 with a relegation threat hanging over a four-season collapse. (diariodesevilla.es) Diario de Sevilla, citing BeSoccer data, reported on April 28 that Sevilla had lost 66 league matches in the last four Primera División seasons, the most in Spain. (diariodesevilla.es) Estadio Deportivo put the same trend in sharper relief four days earlier: Sevilla had 65 defeats at that point, ahead of Getafe on 63 and Mallorca and Valencia on 61. It also counted 42 wins and 39 draws for Sevilla across that span. (estadiodeportivo.com) The season-by-season table shows how steep the drop has been. Sevilla finished fourth with 70 points in 2021-22, then slid to 49 points and 11th in 2022-23, 41 points and 13th in 2023-24, 41 points and 17th in 2024-25, and sat 18th on 34 points in 2025-26 after 33 matches. (transfermarkt.co.uk) La Liga’s official results page showed the latest blow on April 26: Osasuna beat Sevilla 2-1. That left Sevilla with five matches left and no margin for another prolonged skid. (laliga.com) The collapse is even starker against the years just before it. Between 2019-20 and 2021-22, Sevilla finished in the top four three straight times, and Diario de Sevilla said the club ranked fourth in Primera División wins from 2018-19 through 2021-22 with 78 victories in 152 matches. (diariodesevilla.es) The 2022-23 Europa League title did not stop the domestic slide. Diario de Sevilla described that seventh Europa League trophy, won in Budapest, as a last bright moment before the club’s deeper sporting crisis took hold. (diariodesevilla.es) The dugout has turned over almost constantly during the downturn. Estadio Deportivo said nine coaches shared those four seasons of losses, from Julen Lopetegui and Jorge Sampaoli to José Luis Mendilibar, Diego Alonso, Quique Sánchez Flores, García Pimienta, Joaquín Caparrós, Matías Almeyda and Luis García Plaza. (estadiodeportivo.com) Diario de Sevilla tied the sporting decline to boardroom turmoil, describing an ongoing shareholder war and growing hostility toward president José María del Nido Carrasco. The paper said large sections of the fan base had declared him persona non grata. (diariodesevilla.es) What once looked like a bad season now reads like a four-year pattern: more losses than any other club in Spain’s top flight, fewer points every year, and a team playing out the spring in the bottom three.
