"The rumours are over and the confirmaton is here, I am going to Sevilla," wrote Machin, who took Girona from near relegation to the Segunda B to 10th in La Liga this season.
“With his characteristic 3-5-2 system and a notable approach to set-pieces, Machin has created his own stamp which he’ll now try to use to strengthen a team settled in Europe and designed to fight for the biggest prizes,” Sevilla said, of the coach they appointed on a two-year deal.
Girona sent a message to Machin, thanking him for the "historic seasons" he had at the club.
