Arsenal Given Major Monchi Boost As He's Set To Leave roma by OLUWABIG(m): 2:28pm On Mar 08, 2019 |
Arsenal's hopes of appointing Monchi as the club's sporting director have been given a big boost after it emerged the 50-year-old was set to leave Roma on Friday. Monchi has always been Arsenal's first choice to come in to work alongside head of football Raul Sanllehi at the Emirates, with the club keen to see him link up once again with Unai Emery. The pair enjoyed a hugely successful period together at Sevilla, with the Spanish club winning three successive Europa League titles. Monchi moved to Roma in 2017 as director of football and still has two years left on his contract in the Italian capital. He was expected to leave in the summer, however, with Arsenal the likely destination - but that move could now be fast-tracked after reports emerged that the Spaniard was to leave his post by mutual consent on Friday. Sky Italy reporter Gianluca Di Marzio claims that it was decided during a meeting on Thursday that Monchi would follow Eusebio Di Francesco out the door, the Roma coach who was sacked following the club's Champions League exit to Porto earlier in the week. And it was after that game in Portugal, which the hosts won 3-1 in extra-time to go through 4-3 on aggregate, that Monchi seemed to first reveal that he was set to leave Roma. Confronted by some angry fans at the airport in Portugal, the Spaniard was angered by some of the abuse that came his way - responding ‘in six months, I’ll take on each of you one on one.’ That was taken by many as confirmation that he will no longer be connected with the club once the current campaign comes to an end. His comments came the day after he was absent from a pre-game lunch in Portugal that was set up by the boards of both Roma and Porto. He decided to remain with the players at the team hotel instead, with some sections of the Italian media claiming it was a clear sign that he has no intention of remaining in his post beyond the summer. But now it appears he will be leaving Italy far sooner, with a move to Arsenal now looking almost certain. Speaking in January about the prospect of working with Monchi once again, Emery said: "I worked very well with him in Sevilla for three and a half years and my relationship with him is good. “He is a good person and a good professional. I can say he is working in Roma and this issue is the club’s responsibility.” |
