Coach Unai Emery has unilaterally terminated his contract with Villarreal, which was normally valid until 30 June 2023.
England’s Aston Villa Club, which dismissed coach Steven Gerrard after his defeat in the league, announced that they signed with Emery.
The 50-year-old Spanish coach, who has 4 UEFA Europa League titles (3 Sevilla, 1 Villarreal) in his career, coached the Arsenal team between 2018-2020.
The Spanish press wrote that the English club will pay Villarreal 6 million euros for the unilateral termination of Emery’s contract.
Enrique Setien is allegedly Villarreal’s first candidate as new manager.
