The president of Villarreal, Fernando Roig, has initiated urgent contacts with Marcelino García Toral to manage his return to the La Cerámica bench.

The yellow board has made this decision due to the poor start of Íñigo Pérez, who has gathered 2 draws and 4 losses in LaLiga EA Sports and the UEFA Champions League, leaving the team in relegation places to LALIGA Hypermotion.

Íñigo Pérez's results crisis and the defeat against Real Betis

The Navarrese coach's position was questioned after losing 1-2 against Real Betis at La Cerámica in the last league match. The team has only collected 2 points out of 15 possible in the domestic tournament, with identical records to Elche and only above Valencia at the bottom of the table.

During the post-match press conference, the coach himself admitted his inability to reverse the sporting dynamics after conceding the second goal of the match. The Villarreal sports committee believes that the image shown in the second half against the Betis team accelerates the need for an immediate change in the coaching staff.

Conditions for Marcelino's return to Villarreal's project

President Fernando Roig seeks to finalize the return of the Asturian coach, who ended his second spell at the club after failing to reach a renewal agreement at the end of the previous season. At that time, the board offered 1 year contract to control the budget expenditure, while the coach demanded a minimum commitment of 2 seasons.

The entity's financial adjustment is driven by a budget of 215 million euros in the previous year, the highest in the institution's history. After failing to meet projected revenues in the top continental competition, the board advocates cutting transfer investments, resorting to free agents, and giving priority to youth players to balance the accounts.

The Villarreal board will hold an in-person meeting with the Asturian coach's representation in the coming hours to define the contract duration. Fernando Roig aims to confirm the dismissal of Íñigo Pérez and the appointment of Marcelino before the team's next official league match.
