Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean. 
Sevilla have announced the return of Monchi as the club’s sporting director despite heavy links with position at Arsenal.
The 50-year-old Spaniard has taken up his former role at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium having previously worked with the club for 17 years.
Why has Monchi returned to Sevilla? Five key things to know…
- Having played for Los Hispalenses during his playing career Monchi took up a role as the club’s sporting director in 2000.
- He helped oversee the development of key players such as Sergio Ramos and Dani Alves.
- As such, Sevilla won 11 trophies during his tenure, before he left the club for Roma in April 2017.
- His time in the Italian capital came to an end earlier this month following the sacking of Eusebio Di Francesco.
- Monchi was linked with a move to Arsenal but he has now returned for his second spell with Sevilla.
Monchi was tipped to fill the void left by Sven Mslintat in north London following the German’s sudden departure in January.
The Spaniard has previously worked alongside Arsenal manager Unai Emery during their time together with Sevilla between 2013 and 2016.
However, the Spanish club dismissed head coach Pablo Machin after their Europa League exit on Thursday with director of football Joaquin Caparros taking control of the first team.
Sevilla president Jose Castro confirmed on Friday that the club held positive talks with the transfer guru and have now confirmed his reappointment.
