Villarreal has announced that coach Marcelino Garcia Toral has left the club.
Marcelino has "ceased to be the coach of Villarreal," according to a statement on the club's official website.
The news comes after Marcelino led Villarreal to a fourth-place finish in La Liga last season to clinch the club's return to the Champions League after an eight-year exile, and also reached the semifinals of the Europa League.
Marcelino joined the club in January 2013, securing promotion to La Liga later that season with a second-place finish in Segunda Division, helping him to earn a two-year contract later that year.
