Víctor Sánchez del Amo (born 23 February 1976), known simply as Víctor, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right midfielder, and the current manager of Real Betis.

His crossing ability is among the qualities which brought him international recognition with Spain, and especially Deportivo. He started his career with Real Madrid, and went on to win a total of seven major titles between the two clubs combined.

Over the course of 11 seasons, Víctor amassed La Liga totals of 310 games and 49 goals.

Víctor was born in Madrid. Being a product of the famous Real Madrid youth system, he made his first-team debut on 25 May 1996 in the season's last matchday, a 1–0 away win against Real Zaragoza.

Almost never a starter during his spell in the capital, Víctor did appear in 36 La Liga games in 1996–97 (25 starts, five goals) as the Fabio Capello-led side won the national championship, and would play a relative role in Madrid's conquest of the following campaign's UEFA Champions League.

For 1998–99, Víctor had to leave his hometown club as he faced stiff competition, and his first stop was Racing de Santander where he scored 12 top division goals to earn a move to Deportivo de La Coruña. In the 1999–2000 season, he missed just one league match as Deportivo won the league – its first – netting four goals.
