According to well-known journalist Romano, former Real Sociedad Director Olabe will serve as director of Villa.

Villa director Monci has left office and the club is looking for a replacement. Romano revealed that former Real Sociedad director Olabe reached an agreement with Villa to become the new director of the Premier League club.

Orabe has worked in clubs such as Almeria, Valladolid, Real Sociedad, and other clubs, and has left Real Sociedad this summer. He had previously been associated with the Arsenal director position but was ultimately unable to join.
