Marcelino Garcia Toral: La Liga side Villarreal on Monday confirmed the return of Marcelino Garcia Toral as first team coach seven years after he left.

Marcelino becomes Villarreal's third coach of the season and replaces Jose Luis Rojo 'Pacheta', who was sacked on Friday after just eight La Liga matches at the helm, reports Xinhua.

The 58-year-old returns to coaching with a contract until the end of June 2026, after resigning from his post at Olympique de Marseille after just seven matches in charge, explaining that the poor relations between the club's 'Ultras' and the Board of Directors made it impossible for him to do his job.
