Quique Sánchez Flores wants to replace Rakitic at Sevilla FC with someone he trusts and is targeting Luis Milla
Iván Rakitic has left Sevilla FC’s engine room exhausted. The great captain and Jesús Navas have failed to impress the Sevilla team so far this season. His departure has thwarted the plans of the club, which is left without a replacement guarantee. Quique Sánchez Flores knows Luis Milla from his time as coach of Getafe CF and sees him as an ideal opportunity to replace the Croatian.
The truth is that despite his age Rakitic showed a very good performance in Nervión. The former FC Barcelona player was a pillar of the team and enjoyed the trust of every coach who worked at Sevilla FC. However, his phase ended and the core team was left with no brains. Therefore, Luis Milla, a player who knows La Liga and is already of mature age, could be the next anchor for Sevilla.
Luis Milla can meet Quique again at Sevilla FC
If there is no disaster, Quique Sánchez Flores will remain coach of Sevilla FC next season. The Madrid coach is the third coach to pass through the Sevilla club this season and the institution wants him to be the last. That’s why the former Getafe CF player wants to build a team tailored to him. To achieve this, he will have players like Luis Milla who he completely trusts.
This season, the Madrid midfielder wins even more awards alongside José Bordalás. Together with Maksimóvic, he is responsible for shaping the game and sending good values to Mayoral or Greenwood. The Alicante coach gave him all the strength and he took on a central role in La Liga.
Quique wants a player he trusts on every line
The Andalusian club’s player turnover involves mixing up-and-coming players with players who are at the peak of their careers. Those active members who are in the best moment of their careers have priority in order to free the club from the current situation. Therefore, an age-appropriate balance in the squad is Quique’s idea to shape the future.
From this point of view, the coach obviously believes it is important to have players in each line that he can completely trust. The future of the club cannot only be entrusted to young people. Therefore, Quique will have a say in the transfer policy that the Sevilla team will implement and he will make clear what his criteria are in order not to flirt so much with the relegation places again..
