Aston Villa’s president of football operations, Monchi, is set to leave the club amid a difficult start to the season.
The news comes as Villa sits 18th in the Premier League, having failed to win any of their first five league games.
Monchi joined Villa in 2023, reuniting with manager Unai Emery.
Their collaboration saw significant success last season, as the club finished fourth in the Premier League to secure a Champions League spot and reached the Europa Conference League semi-finals.
Despite this success, Villa has faced financial constraints that led to the sale of key players like Douglas Luiz and Jacob Ramsey.
It remains unclear whether Monchi’s departure is a mutual decision or if he has been sacked.
