Sevilla axe boss Machin after Europa exit

Sevilla have sacked boss Pablo Machin, a day after they were dramatically knocked out of the Europa League by Slavia Prague.

The five-time Europa League winners lost 6-5 on aggregate.

Sevilla blamed "a string of poor results in past weeks" for his dismissal after 10 months.

Director of football Joaquin Caparros will take charge of the team, having managed the side for a month last season when Vincenzo Montella was sacked.
