SEVILLA'S failure to qualify for the Champions League group stages has put coach Antonio Alvarez's future in doubt before La Liga has even started.
Sevilla was booed off the pitch on Tuesday, and president Jose Maria del Nido struggled to hide his disappointment.
"There's no need to consider making changes, at the moment I think it would be premature and it would be bad for the entity," Del Nido said.
Coming hot on the heels of Saturday's 0-4 drubbing against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, Del Nido added, "We haven't achieved either of our two objectives for August. (But) football continues and we still have the Europa League."
Alvarez, who replaced Manolo Jimenez in March, led Sevilla it to victory in the Copa del Rey final in May. He told reporters he had no intentions of quitting.
"The season's only just starting, we have received two hefty blows but I'm only thinking about training again tomorrow, and lifting the morale of my players," he said.
