The Cantabrian head coach leaves Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF can announce that the head coach of the first team, Quique Setién, is leaving the club. The club highlights his great professionalism and commitment and appreciates both him and his coaching staff for having taken charge in a complicated situation last season.

Villarreal CF would like to thank Setién for his work and involvement and wishes him the best of luck in his career.

The club’s director of football, Miguel Ángel Tena, will take over on an interim basis and will lead tomorrow’s session scheduled for 6.30pm CEST at the José Manuel Llaneza Training Ground.
