🔙 Monchi returns to LaLiga, Espanyol’s sporting director | OneFootball

RCD Espanyol has made a major statement in the institutional market by officially announcing the appointment of Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo, known worldwide as 'Monchi,' as its new sporting general manager.

The man from Cádiz, one of the most prestigious figures in European football, arrives in Barcelona to immediately take charge of the club’s sporting department.

Under this new structure, Monchi will take full control of sporting management, overseeing the current executive departments, which will now report directly to him.

Monchi’s track record is his best calling card. After more than two decades linked to Sevilla FC, where he was the architect of a team that won 11 titles — most notably seven UEFA Europa League trophies — the executive will bring his vast experience in scouting and squad development to Espanyol’s project.

His arrival comes after successful spells at international clubs such as AS Roma and Aston Villa. At the latter, Monchi succeeded in building a competitive project capable of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, proving his ability to adapt to different leagues and highly demanding European contexts.
