Leeds United: Orta rejects Deportivo in favour of Elland Road stay
Victor Orta is set to remain in his job at Leeds United after rejecting an approach from Deportivo La Coruna to become their new sporting director.
United’s much-criticised director of football has indicated to the Elland Road hierarchy that he wants to continue in his post and assist with their recruitment in this summer’s transfer window despite suggestions that he was poised to return to Spain.
Deportivo are in the market for a new sporting director after the previous incumbent, Richard Barral, left the club in January. Orta was shortlisted but is understood to have turned Deportivo down following formal contact last week.
