Technical director Ellis leaves Arsenal

Arsenal technical director James Ellis has left the club just seven months after taking the position.

Ellis was promoted into the role from his previous position as head of recruitment last summer, but will now leave the Emirates Stadium.

The club has undergone an internal restructuring in recent months.

Andrea Berta has taken over as sporting director, replacing Jason Ayto, who left last summer.

In November, BBC Sport revealed Napoli head of scouting Maurizio Micheli had joined the club in a senior recruitment role.

Ellis's exit is the latest in a growing line of developments within the inner workings at the Emirates.
