Marcelo Bielsa is interested in the Sevilla job.
The former Argentina and Chile coach is currently available and keen on a return to Spain.
After Sevilla's 6-2 thrashing by Real Madrid, coach Gregorio Manzano is expected to soon be shown the door.
Bielsa has been following the situation closely and had one of his representatives fly to Spain this week to make contact with Sevilla.
The rep took in last weekend's thrashing by Real.
