Villarreal have named their new manager about 24 hours after losing Unai Emery to Aston Villa. Into his place steps former Las Palmas, Real Betis and Barcelona coach Quique Setien.

The Yellow Submarine had been working on a replacement since Friday after Emery informed Villarreal that he would make a decision on Monday about his future. As it transpired, Emery left.

Seemingly Mauricio Pochettino was approached and he declined the chance, however Quique Setien was dubbed the frontrunner after that and has agreed a deal that will last him until the end of the 2023-24 season.

The Cantabrian has been out of work since leaving Barcelona under a cloud. Setien was only in charge for seven months but after losing 8-2 to Bayern Munich, was swiftly dismissed.
