'Monchi brings a lot to Sevilla' - Banega happy to see sporting director back

Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega is glad to see sporting director Monchi back at the club following an absence of two years.

After finishing his playing career at Sevilla in 1999, the former goalkeeper became the club's sporting director the following year and swiftly helped bring about their return to the top flight.

In 17 years with Monchi at the helm, the Andalusian side enjoyed the most successful period in their history, winning five UEFA Cup/Europa League titles in the process.

Monchi left Sevilla for Roma in 2017, citing the desire for a new challenge, but things did not go entirely to plan in Italy and he departed in early March.
