VINCENZO MONTELLA REACHES TEN SEVILLA FC WINS IN TWO FRANTIC MONTHS

Vincenzo Montella won his tenth game with Sevilla FC this Saturday against Athletic Club Bilbao, having overseen just 17 games for the Nervioneneses since he took over to face Cádiz CF in the Ramón de Carranza on the 3rd of January. In total he has 10 wins, three draws and four losses. 

Of the ten wins, five have come in the league and five in the Cup. In the league, the record of the coach is five wins, four losses and one draw, while in the Cup he has won five times, drawn once and not lost. The latter set of results have led the side to a Copa del Rey Final.

Montella has a win percentage of 58.8%

Sevilla have 58.8% win rate under Montella and an unbeaten rate of 76.4%.

The improved collective performances has been accompanied by improved individual performances of a number of players who have found a new lease on life since the Italian coach arrived. One of the greatest renaissances has been that of Gabriel Mercado who has formed a stalwart centre-back partnership with Clément Lenglet, all the while flanked by a renewed Jesús Navas, who has taken to his new role at right-back like a duck takes to water.  

The renewed performances of Sarabia, Vázquez and Correa (13 goals and 12 assists) have been key factors to success

Among the greatest revelations, though, also has to be Luis Muriel who has led the Sevilla line with zeal ahead of Sarabia, Franco Vázquez and Joaquín Correa. The three attacking midfielders have become unarguable starters since the Italian has stepped in. Sarabia has six goals and seven assists, Correa four goals and one assist and Franco Vázquez three goals and four assists. 

And the improvements have paid off for the team's record in the league. In the Nervionenses' last five games played, the side has picked up 12 points in a possible 15, with a qualification for the Copa del Rey final and a creditable home draw with Manchester United thrown into the mix along the way.
