The Argentine was sent off during the match for protesting referee Galech Apezteguia’s decisions and escalated the situation by entering the pitch and confronting the official for nearly a minute.
The suspension includes one match for the red card, six additional games for various infractions: three for “contempt,” two for protests, one for “conduct contrary to good sporting order,” and one for failing to return promptly to the dressing room.
Sevilla plan to appeal the decision, presenting video evidence and prepared to escalate if necessary.
"The club, after learning of the seven-game ban four our head coach from the Disciplinary Committee following his red card last weekend against Alaves, wish to state the following,” a statement from the manager read.
"Our total support to our head coach against a punishment we consider excessive.
"We share the regret and the apologies expressed by the coach himself after the match regarding his own reaction.
"That the club’s legal department will exhaust all available avenues to appeal what it considers an excessive sanction, both in terms of the number of matches imposed and the way the facts have been described.
"We respect the sporting legal authorities and their decisions, but will make use of all available tools to defend our legitimate rights and those of our coach."
