Monchi, the club’s president of football operations, is about to leave.

Villa is currently 18th in the Premier League after a season without a win. The 56-year-old’s imminent departure comes with Villa 18th.

After previously working for Villa at La Liga side Unai Emery, Monchi joined Villa in 2023 from Spanish side Sevilla, where he had previously served as the club’s sporting director.

With a season-long fourth place finish in the Premier League, the pair took Villa to the Europa Conference League semi-finals in 2024.

They advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals last year before being defeated by Paris St-Germain, who had already qualified.

Villa have had a poor season, winning just one game of play and not winning any of their five league games.
