Monchi credits the work of Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui for reaching the Europa League final in his first season in charge AFP/CRISTINA QUICLERCOLOGNE, Germany: "No one wants it like we do," is how Sevilla's renowned sporting director Monchi explains how a club with modest resources is preparing for a sixth Europa League final in 14 years against Inter Milan on Friday .
How much it means to be back in the final for the first time since 2016 was evident in the manner in which Monchi and his staff, club directors and substitutes collaborated to compensate for the lack of supporters in the stadium for Sunday's semi-final win over Manchester United. But the summer of 2019 was radical even for the former goalkeeper. After helping Sevilla to 11 trophies in 17 years as director of football, Monchi left for a new challenge at Roma in 2017.
There was also a new coach as Julen Lopetegui took his first role since being sacked by Real Madrid just months after also being fired by Spain for taking the Madrid job just days before the start of the 2018 World Cup. "I know him and he doesn't like to look back. He looks to the present and the future. He is happy at the club and we are very happy with him. It has been a perfect marriage."
