Victor Orta has been appointed Sevilla's new sporting director on a three-year contract. The former Leeds United director of football replaces Monchi, who became Aston Villa's president of football operations earlier this summer.

Orta is set to host a press conference on Tuesday evening following his return to Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan where he worked under Monchi between 2006 and 2013.

The Spaniard departed Elland Road at the beginning of last month after several years heading up Leeds’ recruitment. 44-year-old Orta had previously explained his desire to return to Spain at some stage of his career, having held prominent scouting positions at Middlesbrough and Leeds since 2015.
