Former head of football Raul Sanllehi has opened up on his Arsenal departure admitting his 'last 10 months were horrible'.
Sanllehi joined the Gunners hierarchy from Barcelona back in 2018 before being let go from the club after just two years. Sanllehi’s ideas convinced Ivan Gazidis, then Arsenal’s chief executive, to recommend that the Kroenkes hire him.
It was Sanllehi who identified Unai Emery as the team’s new head coach as he oversaw the transition from Arsene Wenger's 22-year spell with the Gunners. When Gazidis left to join AC Milan in September 2018, he was moved into a new head of football role at the Emirates Stadium and entrusted with handling all football operations at Arsenal.
