Arriving at OM in the off-season, Marcelino did not last very long on the Marseille bench.
Thanked by his leaders after only 7 short matches at the head of the team, the Spaniard's results were still positive.
Despite a third place in the league, he mainly paid the price for a premature elimination during the Champions League play-offs.
Back on Thursday evening with a team he knows well, Marcelino and his men intend to strike a big blow.
On the social networks of the Villarreal club, a photo of the coach and his scorer Gerard Moreno was posted with the description
“Imagine not trusting you”
.
One thing is certain, the 58-year-old coach and the entire Villarreal team will enter a boiling Vélodrome on Thursday evening, for a match that promises to be electric.
Kick-off will take place at 9 p.m. and this meeting will be commented live on our
