Garcia Pimienta left Las Palmas last week in order to take up the position at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, which he will begin with immediate effect. He has penned a two-year deal, which will initially keep him at Sevilla under the end of the 2025-26 season.
Garcia Pimienta has impressed greatly over his coaching career, which started in the youth categories at Barcelona. He was dismissed as B team manager in 2021, before taking over at Las Palmas in 2022, and guiding them back to La Liga fin his first full season in charge.
It’s a very exciting appointment for Sevilla, although work will need to be done for Garcia Pimienta to get the squad back in the fight for European football. Given the club’s money problems, his task will be even more difficult.
