#1 Sevilla are finally finding their identity under Vincenzo Montella

Sevilla v Getafe - La Liga
Montella has now settled to life in Seville

Taking over in December, Montella had a huge task at his disposal. The counter-attacking side of Unai Emery was somehow dented under Jorge Sampaoli and was completely lost under Eduardo Berizzo. The former AC Milan boss had to start from scratch and has come a long way since his opening match defeat against Real Betis.

Welcoming Steven N'Zonzi into the fray, Montella first identified his preferred set of players and has trusted them completely to do the job. Ever Banega has been top notch whereas the gaffer has placed a lot of emphasis on their wing play. The likes of Sarabia, Correa and Nolito have been afforded the desired freedom.

The January signing of centre-back Clement Lenglet has been inspiring and also the renaissance of Jesus Navas - Sevilla's record appearance maker at right back has been impressive. The two-legged win over Atletico Madrid in Copa Del Rey gave a perfect example of Montella's Sevilla blueprint and if it can be replicated now in Europe can cause a huge upset of sorts.
