MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's so-called "bad bank" Sareb will name Jaime Echegoyen, former CEO of Bankinter (>> Bankinter SA), as the as second-in-command to Chairwoman Belen Romana in a new CEO role, Sareb said on Sunday.

Sareb was set up to cleanse Spain's rescued banks of their soured property loans and real estate.

The bank is taking advantage of interest from foreign investors for its holdings and late last year it sold two portfolios of loans worth a total of 323 million euros (261 million pounds) to Deutsche Bank (>> Deutsche Bank AG).

Echegoyen was chief executive officer at retail bank Bankinter until October 2010 and left to run the Spanish arm of UK bank Barclays (>> Barclays PLC) before stepping down at the end of January.
