Sand finished Monchi is history again at Sevilla. The Andalusian club and Aston Villa have reached an agreement for the departure of the sports director towards the Premier, after a few days of great tension, until the parties have been able to solve all the pitfalls that were in the contract of the man from Cádiz with Sevilla. Signing with the team led by Unai Emery for three seasons, with an optional fourth.
The former sports director of Sevilla will say goodbye publicly in the coming days in an act that will take place in the anteroom of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjun. To be, as the club’s statement says, “when your schedule allows it.”
Monchi thus puts an end to four seasons in the Seville in this second stage, after the first 17 in which he was before leaving for Rome.
21 seasons since 2000, in which Sevilla has only missed European competitions once since 2004, and has achieved numerous sporting successes, raising 11 of the 15 titles in its history: seven Europa League (the last one in Budapest a few weeks ago), two Copas del Rey, one European Super Cup and another from Spain.. Also 21 finals, which will be the 22 with which he will play on August 16 in Athens against Manchester City. More than 1,000 games as sports directorwhere Sevilla has established itself on the European scene thanks to its successes in this century, with the figure of Monchi prominent in all the work within the club.
He leaves for the second time and it seems that now it will be the definitive one, that is, that there are no doors left open to return, at least with the current Board of Directors, with whom he has ended up facing. He is leaving for a project in the Premier where he will have less social pressure than the one he imposed on himself at the Sánchez-Pizjun or also the one he had in Rome. He is going to a different championship with a different culture in terms of football managers. There he will work hand in hand with Unai Emery, a coach with whom he has always understood perfectly. Three of the seven Europa League came with this pairing at Sevilla.
Leave a champion team, with Mendilibar renewed, but with a squad that needs a gigantic twist, after what was shown in the League championship for many months. And times are what they are, with the competition starting in less than two months. TONow it is Sevilla who must launch without delay for that new Monchi. A club and a sports director born to go hand in hand go their separate ways again, but stories of eternal love rarely end well.
