Aston Villa's president of football operations Monchi is poised to leave the club.
The 56-year-old's imminent departure comes with Villa 18th in the Premier League after a winless start to the season.
Monchi joined Villa in 2023 from Spanish side Sevilla, where he had been sporting director, having previously worked with Villa boss Unai Emery at the La Liga club.
The pair took Villa to the Europa Conference League semi-finals in 2024 and secured a Champions League place as they finished fourth in the Premier League that season.
They went on to reach the Champions League quarter-finals last season, being knocked out by eventual winners Paris St-Germain.
