While any success in football has many architects, if there was one putting in the most blueprints for Sevilla\u2019s 21st century golden era, it was Monchi. The former Sevilla transfer guru is now set to be on the market again.<\/p>\n

Synonymous with Sevilla\u2019s seven Europa League titles in the last two decades, Monchi revolutionised the game in Spain with his cutting edge recruitment approach. Originally helping Los Nervionenses from Segunda to European glory, Monchi returned to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan after a brief spell at AS Roma. However two summers ago, he departed the club again, after results took a turn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following up on reports from England that Monchi would be leaving the club, Diario AS<\/a> have confirmed that President of Football Operations Monchi will be leaving Aston Villa. Described as \u2018not entirely unexpected\u2019 but a major move by John Percy, Monchi\u2019s exit represents a major power shift at Villa Park, given that he had a strong connection with Unai Emery, whom he appointed as Sevilla manager previously.<\/p>\n

#avfc<\/a> president of football operations Monchi is leaving the club. A close ally of manager Unai Emery, Monchi departs Villa after just over 2 years in the post. Not entirely unexpected but a big development. More to follow @TeleFootball<\/a><\/p>\n

Two years of up and down for Monchi in the Midlands<\/h2>\n

After joining in 2023, Monchi\u2019s work helped the Villains to qualify for Champions League football in his first season, and after a successful trip to the quarter-finals, finished sixth last season. However this year has been a rough start for Aston Villa, sitting 18th with three points and no wins from their opening five games.<\/p>\n

Restricted by the Premier League\u2019s Profit and Loss rules, Aston Villa have been unable to do as much business<\/a> as they would have liked this past summer, which may have been a factor in his exit. While his recent work at Villa, and the end of his Sevilla tenure might have gone poorly, one of the iconic figures in the scouting game is back on the market by the looks of things. Monchi has in the past dodged questions over a third return to Sevilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n
