"Monchi destroyed Roma"

Monchi is well known for his good work at Sevilla over the years, but the same cannot be said abroad. His time at Roma did not go as well and not everyone has great memories of him.

Radja Nainggolan, who was at Roma for five seasons, slammed the current Sevilla sporting director.

"The other man (Monchi) came as a sporting director and ruined the team. He sold all the playuers. I can't even name him. If I knew that he would leave shortly afterwards, I'd have stayed. If I returned to Rome now, I could ruin a marvellous memory I have," Nainggolan told 'Tradicion romanista'.

The Belgian believes that Monchi undid all the good work that had been done up to that point: "We had very strong players and then we sold them. These things happened every year because of the budget. If you want to get strong players, you have to keep them. If you always change, you'll never have a basic solid base."

"I still do not think about retiring. But I believe that it's never easy. Every player wants to end in a good way. Sooner rather than later, every player has to say goodbye. I've still not thought about leaving, but I'm not afraid of doing someday," he said.
