Sevilla coach Mendilibar dismisses sack talk: What we did last season won't be ignored

Sevilla coach Jose Luis Mendilibar has dismissed talk of his job being under threat.

It's been suggested Mendilibar is under pressure after a slow start to the season.

But he insists: "I am calm, maybe I am proud of what moves around me, but that is who I am. I know that in our work results rule. I also know that not long ago we had three great months, I don't think it will be forgotten so soon either.

"But hey, it doesn't matter. And even if you forget, it seems good to me that you only look at the present. But that's it. I speak normally with the people at the club and nothing has changed about that.

"In the end, you are the ones who put all that in, and people take what you put in. We coaches know what we sign up for. If your contract says one year, then that's it, but we know that sometimes that's not true. It can be less because things don't go well for you and they kick you out or it could be more. I arrived here six months ago, we try to make the team, the club better and it is true that the start of the season has not been good but I only focus on preparing the games, the rest matters little to me."
