Monchi worked behind the scenes at Sevilla for 17 years before leaving for Roma
The 50-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Gunners following head of recruitment Sven Mislintat’s departure in Feburary.
Spaniard Monchi, who left Roma earlier this month, claims he received interest from Arsenal but the project set out by Sevilla president Jose Castro Carmona convinced him to rejoin the club.
Monchi said: “I thank Arsenal for their interest.
“It has been the club that has shown the most interest in me but, in the end, I evaluated all of the offers I had on the table and I chose the one that convinced me most.

“I had other options, and very important ones that were flashier, but I’ve chosen Sevilla because its sporting project convinced me.
“I want to thank everyone that contributed to my return to what I consider to be my home.”
Monchi left Seville in April 2017 to end a 17-year period where the LaLiga side won 11 trophies, including three Europa League titles with current Gunners boss Unai Emery the Sevilla manager.

He added:Â “Many people outside of Seville have told me that I’ve made the wrong choice, that sequels are never good.
“I’ve evaluated all of this. I’m here not because I’m a Sevilla fan, not to save someone’s skin, but because in the conversations I’ve had with the club president and other club executives, they have transmitted to me an idea of what Sevilla’s future could be that coincides with what I believe Sevilla’s future should be.
“My idea is to help Sevilla grow. I want to build a Sevilla team that can fight among the best.”
Mochi explained that he did reject interest from the North London side, because the sporting project in Sevilla convinced him more. "I thank Arsenal for their interest, It has been the club that has shown the most interest in me but, in the end, I evaluated all of the offers I had on the table and I chose the one that convinced me most."
