Wyness: Monchi will have Villa ready for Champions League

Former Aston Villa chief exec Keith Wyness is convinced Monchi will have the team equipped for the Champions League.

Wyness says Villa's president of football is the "best in the world".

Monchi, the sporting director, hasn't got enough praise for what he's done," Wyness told Football Insider's Insider Track podcast. He's probably the best sporting director in the world or at least that I'm aware of. He's got massive European experience with Sevilla and has worked wonders with them in the past.

It's going to be an interesting next season for Villa. I think they're prepared, and they have the right knowledge in the right areas.

Having Monchi and Unai Emery together is a potent mix and having these people in place are giving the club momentum. They are another club who will be really chasing hard next season."
