Victor Orta has been named new sporting director of Sevilla.

Orta takes the job after Monchi's departure for Aston Villa last week.

The Spaniard was able to make the move as a free agent after his dismissal by Leeds United towards the end of last season.

Orta has signed a deal to 2026.

It marks a return to Sevilla for Orta, who originally was Monchi's assistant.
