Sevilla president Pepe Castro was forced to defend new director of football Victor Orta, as questions from journalists kept coming in on his predecessor Monchi.
Former Leeds United director of football Orta was appointed at Sevilla last week, replacing Monchi who had held that role at the La Liga club since 2000. Overseeing seven Europa League trophy wins in those years, he left the club to join Aston Villa as their president of football operations.
Sevilla president Castro met with regional journalists this week to answer their questions, but it was the departure of Mochi, rather than the appointment of the former Leeds man which kept cropping up time and time again, leading to Castro making a rather bizarre statement defending Orta.
