Villarreal have appointed former Barcelona head coach Quique Setien as their new manager following Unai Emery's departure to Premier League side Aston Villa.
Setien, 64, has signed a contract until the end of next season with the LaLiga club.
'Villarreal CF have reached an agreement with Quique Setien for the Santander-born coach to take charge of the Yellows for the remainder of the current season and the entirety of the following one,' the club said in a statement.
Setien, a former midfielder with several teams in Spain, started his managerial career with his old club Racing Santander before stints at Las Palmas, Real Betis and Barca, where he was sacked in 2020 after just seven months at the helm.
