A rumored target for Arsenal, Monchi has signed a deal to return as sporting director of Sevilla.

Monchi left his sporting director position at Roma following their loss to Porto in the Champions League.

The 50-year-old will start his new job on April 1st. 

Zinedine Zidane said he returned to Real Madrid due to his love for the club and Florentino Perez.

"I've come back because the president called me and as I love the president and the club, I'm here. After eight months, I want to coach again, I took this decision for the good of everyone, we had to make a change," said Zidane.

Perez hailed Zidane's signing as a new era for the club.

"It's a new project, an exciting new era with one of our great symbols leading, Zinedine Zidane. The best coach in the world is here, thank you Zizou for your loyalty and forming part of this legendary club," said Perez. 

Claudio Ranieri has been named the new manager of Roma, returning to the club where he managed from 2009-2011.

"I'm delighted to be coming back home. When Roma call you, it's impossible to say no," said Ranieri.

Ranieri was fired from Fulham just 8 days ago after winning just 3 of 17 matches in charge.

The Los Angeles Galaxy bought out the final season of Giovani Dos Santos' contract, getting the club down to 3 designated players ahead of the MLS season.

The move cost the club around $6 million, although it did free up salary cap room for the Galaxy to round out their roster. 

“This obviously frees up some funds. We need additions. We need to strengthen and deepen our roster in certain positions. And we’re very actively doing that. Hopefully soon," said general manager Dennis te Kloese.
