Unicaja Chairman José Sevilla to Step Down in April 2027

José Sevilla will leave the chairmanship of Unicaja in April 2027 after deciding not to seek renewal of his mandate, according to a report by Euronews.

Sevilla will remain in his non-executive role at the head of the Málaga-based bank until that date, the report said, allowing for a transition period before a successor takes over. Euronews's report did not name a potential successor or detail the bank's process for selecting one.

Leadership Transition

Unicaja, one of Spain's larger banking groups, has gone through a period of consolidation and strategic adjustment in recent years as the Spanish banking sector has dealt with interest rate shifts and industry-wide pressure to cut costs and merge operations. A change at the top of the bank's board is likely to be watched closely by investors and regulators tracking the sector's stability.

Euronews did not report additional comment from Sevilla or from Unicaja's board on the reasons behind his decision not to seek another term.
