Villa, England – Monchi don jump ship from Aston Villa like say e dey escape rain. The football world dey buzz as fans and insiders dey wonder how the former sporting director take waka like this after just a few months on the job. Him story don dey unfold since di end of last season, and to be honest, e no dey shock anybody again (na wetin we dey call shock but no shock).
As the new season don start, Villa dey face serious wahala, wey even make dem dey sit for di relegation zone. With just one goal to show for five matches, na like dem dey play jigsaw puzzle without knowing di pieces! And na Monchi wey suppose fit find some sharp players for dem, yet he still dey drag back like say e no get money to spend.
Di pressure don dey build around di club, especially for Unai Emery wey be di head coach. Him no sabi wetin to do again as every recruitment plan dey turn am to comedy show. Dem say Monchi fit still dey help dem as advisor, but who sabi how that one go work (abi him go just dey watch like say na reality show)?
When dem finally tell di players about Monchi own exit, na confusion start. Some no even sabi wetin dey happen until dem comot from training. Some senior staff also dey talk say di whole recruitment strategy dey crumbling like biscuit, but dem no expect Monchi to just waka comot this early like film wey change director just because of bad ratings.
Many people dey yarn say wetin happen for di transfer window don cause all dis wahala. Villa try to buy new players, but dem gree miss out on correct ones. Even di ones wey dem get no fit deliver proper results. Na because of all dis wetin make dem now dey face di fear of relegation (dem no fit chop grass now, abeg!).
As Monchi pack him bag, dem don already set their eyes on Roberto Olabe from Real Sociedad to take over. Olabe dey fresh from his job where him lead dem to win Copa del Rey after 33 years of waiting (na long time wey no fit enter!). Plus, him get history with Emery since dem don dey work together before. If dis one fit turn Villa’s fortune around, den dem suppose sabi wetin to do next time.
For now, na just to cross fingers and make we see how dis drama go unfold. Fans dey hope for better matches, goals go dey rain like palm wine for super party. Meanwhile, Monchi go dey sharp to show dem how e fit manage di football world from di sidelines. But one thing wey sure, no dull moment dey go dey come for Villa as di journey continue.
