Those in positions of authority at La Liga team Sevilla will not be present at this weekend's matchup with Barcelona. Mundo Deportivo claims that this is the case, using the ongoing "Negreira case" as justification. As many will undoubtedly remember, Sevilla's board said in September that they would not be attending any of the events surrounding the team's La Liga away trip to Barcelona. The Nervionenses issued a statement outlining their reasons for declining the invitation to use an executive box at Montjuïc as well as the customary pre-match boardroom meal. As stated in the order circulated in the media, "complete indignation and rejection of the practices carried out by the former FC Barcelona leaders accused in the Negreira case, practices that supposedly constitute a crime for the Investigating Court number 1 of Barcelona." Furthermore, as previously said, the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán's leadership has not changed their position in the 12 mont
In the interim, U21 manager Lee Carsley is in charge of the team while the Association looks for a replacement for the position.
The vacant has been connected to a number of well-known figures, including Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter. Both of the previous Chelsea managers are unemployed and probably available for interviews.
Eddie Howe is another name on the FA's shortlist, although the Newcastle United manager is thought to have no interest in taking the post and is content at St James' Park. His release clause is apparently set at £6 million, which may beyond the sporting body's willingness to pay.
According to The Telegraph, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is seen as the "dream long-term candidate," with the FA "prepared to wait for the Spaniard if he gave it any encouragement." His current deal expires next summer.
Although the FA has made overtures to several candidates about the England post, it is alleged that "formal interviews have not yet taken place," despite the fact that the deadline for applications was August 2.
Carsley is the bookies' favourite to replace Southgate permanently, although his chances have been hampered by Thursday night's 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley Stadium.
"I stated at the outset that I would not rule myself in or out, and that remains the case. "I'm comfortable in my current position, and my responsibilities are clear," he told the media after the game.
