Crisis, Sale of the Club and a Sevilla on the Limit

Del Nido Carrasco breaks his silence: crisis, sale of the club and Sevilla on the limit

The president admits errors, defends his management in a critical economic context and leaves his continuity in the air

José María del Nido Carrasco, president of Sevilla FC, has reappeared publicly at a key moment for the Sevilla entity. After months of discretion, the top leader has candidly analyzed the institutional, sporting and economic situation of a club that is going through one of the most delicate stages in its recent history.

The intervention took place during one of the most deeply-rooted traditions of Holy Week in Seville: the official visit to the brotherhoods of the Nervión neighborhood. As usual, his appearance before the media at the exit of the Brotherhood of San Benito left strong headlines and a feeling of latent concern.

Sevilla FC is not only immersed in a possible sale process, but its sporting performance has also fallen alarmingly. Instability on the bench and economic fragility have created a complex scenario that forces difficult decisions to be made.

One of the most sensitive points addressed by Del Nido Carrasco was his future at the head of the club. The president did not avoid the issue and made it clear that its continuity will depend directly on the evolution of an eventual purchase and sale operation.

“If the sale is completed, the logical thing is that we do not continue. Otherwise, there is an agreement supported by the majority of shareholders that does not point to changes in the presidency,” he explained in a calm tone, although without hiding the uncertainty that surrounds the club.

The possible entry of new investors, with relevant names linked to the Sevilla environment, adds even more pressure to a board that tries to maintain institutional stability while the team fights for much more modest objectives than in previous years.

On a sporting level, the diagnosis is clear: the lack of continuity has been one of the big problems. Sevilla has had nine coaches in just three and a half years, a figure that reflects the absence of a solid project.

The president himself assumed his share of responsibility in this dynamic. He acknowledged that the constant changes on the bench have not given the expected results and that the decisions made have not always been correct.

“I have had four coaches in two years. As the head of the team, I must assume my share of the blame. When there are so many changes, it is evident that something has not worked between the sports management and the council,” he admitted bluntly.

This carousel of technicians has also been accompanied by changes in the sports structure. Three sports directors have passed through the club in this period, which has made it even more difficult to consolidate a coherent strategy.

The transfer policy has been another of the most criticized aspects. Del Nido Carrasco explained that economic limitations have decisively conditioned staff planning.

The manager put figures on the table to illustrate the situation: the club has sold its two best players and has incorporated eight reinforcements with a minimum budget. A reality that contrasts with the sporting ambition that has historically characterized Sevilla.

The reduction in the salary limit, currently the lowest in LaLiga, has forced us to opt for a strategy of extreme containment. This approach, defined by the president himself as a “war economy”, seeks to guarantee the financial viability of the club.

In this context, some footballers with high salaries, inherited from previous stages, have lost prominence in the team. A situation that reflects the adjustment process that the entity is going through.

At the qualifying level, Sevilla is fighting to stay in the First Division. Long gone are the times when the team competed in the European elite and accumulated continental titles.

The president was clear when setting the current objectives: economic balance and permanence. Two goals that, although modest for the club's recent history, have become priorities given the current situation.

“We are just a few points away from relegation. The squad has been built with very limited resources and that conditions performance,” he said, evidencing the difficulty of the challenge.

Del Nido Carrasco also compared the current situation with past stages in which the club could invest large amounts in signings. He recalled that at other times much higher amounts were allocated, which made it easier to get sports planning right.

However, he insisted that the current context requires us to act with caution. As he explained, any leader in his position would have to make similar decisions, unless they were willing to make direct financial contributions.

The president's final message hinted at a mixture of resignation and responsibility. It recognizes the difficulties, admits errors, but defends that the decisions adopted respond to an unavoidable economic reality.

Meanwhile, the future of Sevilla FC remains open on several fronts: the possible sale, institutional stability and the fight for permanence will set the course for the coming months.

In Nervión, uncertainty coexists with the hope of recovering the lost stability. The fans, demanding and passionate, carefully observe every move of a board that has much more at stake than sporting results.
