It has been a crazy couple of seasons at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The successes of 2010-2016 ground to a halt as a merry-go-round of coaching changes and player arrival/departure saw the club underachieve greatly.

Following the return of acclaimed sporting director, Carlos Monchi, after his failed stint at AS Roma, the club looks to have put their house in order.

Former Spain and Real Madrid manager, Julen Lopetegui has been brought in for the new season. It will be fascinating to see how both he and Monchi bounce back from their recent failures.

Sevilla have been the third-most active team in the transfer window with 11 players brought in at an astonishing cost of €124m. This includes young starlets like Jules Kounde and Maximilian Wober, talented players like Joan Jordan and experienced old heads like Fernando and Luuk de Jong.

It remains to be seen how Lopetegui will integrate the new players into his preferred passing style while getting the best out of the players already at the club.
