Former Leeds United director of football Victor Orta says his verbal altercation with a supporter following Leeds’ 2-2 draw with Brentford in December 2021 came as a result of what the Spaniard understood to be a threat towards his family.
Orta’s angry exchange with a supporter situated in front of the Elland Road directors box was picked up by television cameras after the Whites’ last-minute draw with the Bees two seasons ago. The transfer chief cut an animated figure as he gestured towards his agitator and has explained why he reacted in such a way.
Orta subsequently apologised for this particular outburst in a statement which read: “I would like to say sorry for my reaction after the game yesterday. “I don’t want to make excuses, but in the end I am human.” Orta has spoken previously about the abuse he dealt with during his time at Leeds. In an interview with The Telegraph following his Elland Road departure, he said: “The past few months have been very difficult for everyone at the club.
