Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna have appointed Carmelo del Pozo as their new sporting director, and in the process ended talks of Victor Orta quitting Leeds United.
Orta, whose tenure at Leeds has been heavily scrutinised, was shortlisted by Deportivo for the vacant sporting director role.
However, the Spaniard turned down the chance to join Deportivo as he told Leeds that he is committed in his role as director of football at Elland Road.
Orta, who is the head of the scouting network at Leeds, has fared poorly in his first two transfer windows at the Yorkshire club.
