After the unexpected departure of Unai Emery last October to take charge of English Aston Villa, Setién came out of retirement to take over the reins of Villarreal.
Although he had a positive end to the season, the start of the new one was not as expected and in his first four official matches, he could hardly score a point, for which reason the directors of the “Yellow Submarine” determined his departure.
Faced with this situation, candidates began to appear to replace setien, and among them the name of Gallardo arose.
However, the former River coach, who had rejected an offer from Olympique de Marseille two months ago, also rejected the job at Villareal.
The truth is that uncertainty about his future continues after the farewell to River in December. Although he sounded for several clubs, and had concrete offers to return to the ring, the coach spoke that he must find a place that “motivates” him and makes him “feel comfortable” with the culture of the entity.
Who are the other candidates
On the other hand, in addition to Gallant, those who were interested in Villarreal and who are still in the race to become coaches of the main squad are Julen Lopeteguiwithout a team since leaving Wolverhampton, Javi Gracia and Jose Rojo “Pacheta”.
