Leeds United’s Victor Orta remains realistic about the club’s progression in the Premier League but he does have European ambitions. The director of football has been at Elland Road since 2017, joining Andrea Radrizzani shortly after his full takeover of the Whites.
As such, he has helped the club win promotion back into the top flight of English football and establish itself in the top flight. However, Orta has more goals to achieve in West Yorkshire and he’d love to see the club make a return to Europe over the next few years.
It’s been 20 years since the Whites last competed in a European competition, with Malaga ending their hopes of UEFA Cup success back in December 2002. That third round defeat came just a year and a half after Leeds competed in the semi-finals of the Champions League during the 2000-01 campaign.
