Leeds United Director of Football Victor Orta has insisted his role expands outside of dealing with transfers and has given an insight in his responsibilities at the club.
Orta is an integral part of the Whites recruitment team, working closely with Marcelo Bielsa to bolster United's squad for promotion to the Premier League.
However, Orta has plenty of other remits outside of the summer and January transfer window, including scouting and the club's academy structure.
Speaking at a recent Wyscout event, Orta explained: "My role is all about decisions in terms of football in the club. I have the responsibility to co-ordinate to take (decisions). Obviously, to be part of the choice of the head coach. All people think about recruitment but not only this. All the human resources of the football side, medical department.
