Víctor Orta, former sports director of Sevilla FC, is not having a good time in his second stage in the sports field of Real Valladolid. Yesterday in Ipurúa, in the duel corresponding to the 19th day of LaLiga Hypermotion of the Second Division, Eibar inflicted a … rout (3-0) of the Pucelano team, in the second consecutive defeat of the Blanquivioletas after the 0-1 the previous day against Andorra in Zorrilla.
It is therefore not surprising that the viral image of Víctor Orta appeared during the broadcast of the match between Eibar and Valladolid. After 3 to 0, in a duel in which the Valladolid team sank in the second half, the production showed a photo of Orta in the Ipurúa area in which we could see a depressed and dejected sports director of the Pucelano team because of what was happening on the field.
The Madrid leader is experiencing a moment of uncertainty within the Pucelano club, tenth in the standings with 24 points, four from the promotion play-off, but with one more match, the one played yesterday on Basque soil, so the teams that are one, two and even three points behind could surpass or equal him in the ranking of the silver category of Spanish football.
All this in a week in which the Valladolid bench underwent changes. Real Oviedo dismissed Luis Carrión as coach after the 4-0 at Sánchez-Pizjuán against Sevilla and immediately contacted Guillermo Almada, coach of Pucelano’s team, to take charge of the penultimate team in the First Division. Almada accepted the proposal and Oviedo agreed with Valladolid on the release clause of the Uruguayan coach, who took the reins of the Oviedo team, which he will coach today against Celta. Sisi, the former Recreativo de Huelva, Osasuna and Valladolid player himself, took charge of Blanquivioleta’s first team and led it to the rout at Eibar, while waiting for the directors of the Pucelano team (also Mexican like those of Oviedo) to elect a new coach to take the reins of the team from 2026.
