Sevilla FC has made a weighty decision to face a deep sports restructuring: Víctor Orta has been removed as the club's sporting director. The decision was made during a board meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, where it was confirmed that the Madrid native would not continue leading the team's planning.
Orta was summoned this morning to the stadium offices to receive the news, accompanied by his team, who are also now detached from the organization. The chosen replacement is Antonio Cordón, whose arrival is only pending official confirmation.
Antonio Cordón will take his place
The Andalusian club is forced to make a move after a forgettable season, where the team narrowly avoided relegation. Despite significantly cutting costs in the squad and rejuvenating the group, Orta failed to hit the key pillars: the coach and scoring. His management, plagued by uncertainty and poor results, has ended his tenure barely a year after being appointed.

Interestingly, Orta continued working until the last moment on planning for the upcoming season, unaware that his time at Nervión was about to end. With his departure, Sevilla initiates a profound renewal process that will involve changes in the coaching staff and several key positions in the squad. The club appreciates his work and wishes him good luck in his future endeavors.
