Roma and their sporting director Monchi parted ways by mutual consent on Friday a day after coach Eusebio Di Francesco was sacked, the Serie A club confirmed.
The 50-year-old Spaniard's exit follows a poor run of results and Roma's Champions League last 16, second-leg defeat at Portuguese club Porto with former Leicester and Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri poised to return as head coach.
"I want to thank Monchi for the dedication he has shown over the past two years," said AS Roma CEO Guido Fienga.
Monchi -- full name Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo -- spent 17 years as a sporting director at Sevilla, a club he also represented as a player, before joining Roma in 2017.
"I would like to thank President (James) Pallotta, the club's management, staff, players and fans for their support during my time at the club," said Monchi.
"I wish Roma a lot of success in the future."
