Sevilla coach Marcelino has guaranteed that he is not thinking about leaving the club.
The 46-year-old coach, who took over from Gregorio Manzano in the summer, is under extreme pressure as Sevilla sits 11th in the Liga standings after Sunday's 1-2 home defeat against Villarreal.
"I will not quit, although I am the most responsible [for the result]," Marcelino told reporters after the match. "I will work until the people who make decisions know what to do about my future. I feel capable of turning this situation around."
Marcelo also played down the notion that his squad choices played a role in Sunday's game, saying: "I do not believe that the substitutions were suicidal [to the result]."
