Andrea Radrizzani likes Leeds United fan’s tweet appearing to criticise former director of football Victor Orta
Andrea Radrizzani has liked a tweet by a Leeds United fan that appears to criticise former director of football Victor Orta.
The outgoing Whites owner, who is on the verge of selling the club to 49ers Enterprises after reaching a deal with the American consortium, sacked the Spaniard in May following the 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth.
Responding to one of Radrizzani’s tweets, a Leeds fan wished the Italian businessman good luck with his new project, while advising him not to employ Orta and to stay off Twitter, with the 48-year-old liking the tweet.
No love lost
There is quite clearly no love lost between Radrizzani and Orta after the former sacked the Spaniard a couple of months ago and continues to show his displeasure towards his time at Leeds.
His tenure at the club wasn’t all bad, given that he played an integral role in helping take the Whites from mid-table obscurity in the Championship to finishing in the top half of the Premier League.
But his decisions towards the end of his time as director of football will be what he’s most remembered for and, unfortunately for Leeds, his mistakes played a significant part in the club suffering relegation last season.
Radrizzani also has to hold his hands up and take some of the blame, though, given that Orta was working under him and he could’ve moved quicker to ensure not all the missteps were made.
It’s now time to put all that behind the club and look forward to a new era, as Daniel Farke aims to build a strong squad capable of challenging for promotion again.
