Getting closer. As you have been able to know The newspaper Mediterraneanfrom the Prensa Ibérica group, José Rojo Martín, better known as Pacheta, overtakes Raúl González and wins the race to become the new coach of Villarreal.

If it were a Formula 1 racePacheta would be the winner of the pole position, like Max Verstappen, being the top favorite to get to the top of the podium. During the last hours, the man from Burgos has advanced several positions and is now the best placed to take over the orphan yellow bench. A coach with a lower profile, especially at the media level, compared to the one who was captain of Real Madrid and the Spanish team. Howeverhis great work in teams like Huesca, Valladolid or Elche, a team he took in Segunda B and in just two seasons he managed to take it to the First Division, has been able to finish convincing the yellow board.
His last experience, last year, was with the Pucelano team, to which he was promoted, but was terminated surprisingly after receiving a rout at the Santiago Bernabéu (6-0). A motivating, energetic coach who could have the great opportunity of his career in a team that plays in the Europa League and that does not battle in the mud to avoid relegation.
