Leeds United's director of football Victor Orta is expected to leave the club after six years at the helm of Elland Road. The Spaniard, who was appointed to the role by owner Andrea Radrizzani in 2017, held talks on Monday with the club and are now set to part ways, according to the Athletic.
Orta has faced significant pressure over the past few years to resign or be sacked by supporters, with the relationship becoming increasingly strained in recent weeks after successive heavy defeats to the likes of Arsenal, Bournemouth, Liverpool and Crystal Palace.
Many fans have held him responsible for the club's poor performances in the transfer market in recent years, but have also hailed him as the man who bought club legend Marcelo Bielsa in back in the summer of 2018.
