Roma reach Monchi agreement

By Football Italia staff

Sevilla Sporting Director Monchi will be the man to replace Walter Sabatini at Roma, and will take up the position in June.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, an agreement was reached between Roma executives and the Spaniard in a meeting in London.

The 48-year-old has been dubbed as a ‘transfer wizard’, with a reputation for buying little-known players and selling them on for huge profits.

During his 16 year tenure with Los Rojiblancos, the club have won five Europa League titles, one European Super Cup, two Copa del Rey trophies and a Spanish Super Cup.

Monchi – who used to play as a goalkeeper for the Seville-based club – announced that he would be leaving back in June.

At Roma he will link up with Diego Perotti and Federico Fazio, both of whom enjoyed previous spells with the La Liga outfit.
