"Aston Villa's president of football operations Monchi has left the club after their winless start to the season, multiple sources have told ESPN. The 57-year-old has been at Villa since June 2023, where he reunited with Unai Emery after the pair had combined so successfully at Sevilla. In his two seasons at Villa, they finished fourth and sixth in the Premier League, as well as advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League last year."
"The Birmingham side missed out on back-to-back Champions League qualifications after losing to Manchester United on the final day of last season. This summer was a difficult transfer window for Villa though, with only Evann Guessand and Marco Bizot signing on permanent deals. Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho joined on loan on deadline day and Victor Lindelöf signed on a free transfer."

The summer window produced only two permanent signings, Evann Guessand and Marco Bizot; Elliott and Sancho arrived on loan and Victor Lindelöf on a free. Villa have no wins in their opening five matches and have scored only one goal, Matty Cash's equaliser in a 1-1 draw with 10-man Sunderland.
