Marcelino joins Villarreal less than two months after his eventful departure from Marseille

He had already coached Villarreal from January 2013 to August 2016. More than seven years later, Marcelino returned aboard the “Yellow Submarine” after a complicated stint at Olympique de Marseille, which he officially left on September 20, three months after his arrival and two days after a tense meeting between groups of supporters and the management of the Marseille club.

The current 14th in Liga announced the return of the 58-year-old Asturian this Monday, the day after the defeat at Atlético Madrid (3-1).

He is already the third coach of the team from the province of Castellon this season, after Quique Setién, ousted at the beginning of September, and Pacheta, who lasted barely more than two months. Marcelino’s first adventure at Villarreal was a great success, with a return to La Liga followed by three European qualifications. Since then, the technician has won the Copa del Rey with Valencia in 2019 and the Spanish Super Cup in 2021 with Athletic Bilbao, before his short-lived Marseille adventure.
