Leeds United have confirmed in a club statement that director of football Victor Orta has left the club by 'mutual consent'. The Spaniard had been at the club since the summer of 2017 but has left after significant fan backlash in recent weeks.
Supporters have often had a strained relationship with its board in the past few years, with many fans angry at how Orta amongst others had hit back at their chants of 'sack the board' earlier on in the season.
Now, after a run of just one win in their last seven league games and facing almost certain relegation, Orta has parted ways with the Whites, and has been thanked by owner Andrea Radrizzani who appointed him to his post six years ago.
