Cádiz CF have appointed Alberto Benito as their new sporting director ahead of what’s expected to be a crucial summer transfer window. The club narrowly avoided relegation and are looking to restructure from the top down.

Benito, who previously worked with Real Zaragoza, is known for his data-driven scouting and efficient budget management. His arrival signals a shift in how Cádiz approach the market.

The club plans to focus on younger, undervalued players from Segunda División and South America. Benito also aims to trim the wage bill by moving on underperforming veterans.

Manager Sergio González will work closely with Benito to reshape the squad, especially in attack where Cádiz struggled to score goals consistently last season.

Fans are cautiously optimistic. The club’s survival was a warning sign—and with a new leader in charge of recruitment, Cádiz hopes to climb up the La Liga table in 2025.
