Villarreal have opted to bring in Jose ‘Pacheta’ Rojo Martin as their new boss until the end of 2023/24.
The Yellow Submarine have been working to bring in a replacement for Quique Setien during the international break following his departure from Castellon.
Villarreal CF and @pacheta_oficial have reached an agreement for the manager from Burgos to be the Yellows' head coach for the rest of the 2023/24 season 💛.

However, despite the profile of Raul, Villarreal have opted for the greater experience of Pacheta, as they look to stabilise a faltering early campaign.
The 55-year-old has developed a reputation for helping teams battle against La Liga relegation, in his most recent roles, with a mixed record at avoiding the drop.
He is expected to be formally presented as Villarreal boss in a club presentation on September 11 and will begin training with his new squad immediately as his main players return from international duty in the coming days.
