The last league victory seemed to give air to a coach who had just arrived at the team
The first weeks of Quique Setién in charge of Villarreal CF they have not been easy. The coach has not managed to get the expected results and in his first six games in charge of the team he has only managed to add two victories, one of them against Santa Amalia. The rest have been draws and defeats that have worried the fans and also the template, which does not seem to have on your side right now.
And if that was not enough, The Villarreal CF board of directors does not seem to be entirely on the coach’s side either and they even considered his dismissal before the victory achieved against RCD Espanyol. A victory that has given air to Quique Setién at Villarreal CFwho was seen again without a team just a few games after taking over the bench that Unai Emery vacated.
Villarreal CF’s plans with Quique Setién
Despite the fact that the dismissal of the coach seems ruled out at this time, the club’s board of directors has a plan drawn up. A plan that does not resolve the future of the former coach of Real Betis or FC Barcelona. And it is that, despite having saved his position with the last victory in the Santander League, he still has a threat.
The yellow submarine will closely follow the World Cup in Qatar, as they could go after a coach who could be released after the World Cup. A coach who has been coaching one of the best teams in Europe for several years and who also has a great club career behind him.
The World Cup coach who wants to sign Villarreal CF
This coach is none other than Roberto Martínez, who since 2016 has been in charge of the Belgian team. He will now face his second World Cup after losing in the semifinals in Russia 2018 against the champion and in the quarterfinals in the last Eurocup also against the champion. Now, he will live his last experience in charge of a team that will close his golden age with Hazard, De Bruyne, Courtois, Lukaku and company.
The coach, who has gone through teams like Wigan or Everton, now plans to return to the bench. The Santander League has always been among his options, but for the moment he has not received offers for a project that truly appeals to him. And this is exactly what Villarreal CF wants to offer him, which would first have to resolve the future of Quique Setién. But everything will depend on Roberto Martínez’s decision after the World Cup in Qatar.
