Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido has resigned from his role after being sentenced to seven years in prison for corruption.
The 56-year-old was sentenced by the Supreme Court in Madrid at a hearing last Thursday following accusations that he, along with former mayor Julian Munoz, diverted money out of the municipality of Marbella's public accounts during his employment as a lawyer between 1999 and 2003.
Del Nido had been in charge at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for 11 years, having first joined the board of directors in 1986, with former vice president Jose Castro to take the reins on an interim basis until a board meeting determines a full-time successor next week.
