José Luis Mendilibar wins the Conference with two other Seville players

Once again Jose Luis Mendilibar. The former Sevilla coach was crowned champions of the Conference League this Wednesday, just a few months after doing the same with Nervion coaches in the Europa League, thanks to a goal in extra time… and to help two other former Seville players such as Vicente Iborra and Jovetic.

With the help of Vicente Iborra, former Sevilla captain and widely recognized figure in Nervione, and with the participation of Jovetic

who played just under six months in Sánchez Pizjuan with Jorge Sampaoli, José Luis Mendilibar this Wednesday managed to lift the Conference League by beating Fiorentina with a goal Kaabi in the final period of extra time.

However, the story was not as expected. The red and white team, which eventually achieved salvation with Quique Sánchez Flores five games before the end of the season, did not start at all well and The leaders of the white and red decided to do without the services of the former Eibar player.

A few months later, in early February, Olympiacos contacted him and gave him the opportunity to manage a team outside of Spain for the first time in his career. There he met with two other former Seville players, such as Jovetic and Iborra, and with them he managed to rise to the Conference League this Wednesday.
