Aston Villa's President of Football Operations, Monchi, has parted ways with the club due to their winless start to the season, according to sources. Monchi, 57, joined Villa in June 2023, reuniting with manager Unai Emery after successful spells at Sevilla.

Successful Seasons and Recent Struggles

During his tenure at Villa, Monchi helped the team secure fourth and sixth place finishes in the Premier League and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. However, Villa missed out on Champions League qualification this season after a loss to Manchester United.

Challenging Transfer Window and Poor Performance

This summer, Villa faced challenges in the transfer market, making limited permanent signings. The team brought in players like Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho on loan, with Victor Lindelöf joining on a free transfer. Despite high hopes, Villa has struggled in the current Premier League season, failing to secure a win in their first five matches and scoring only one goal.
