Former coach of OM, which he left after only seven matches, and the stormy situation between supporters and the Marseille board a little over a year ago, Marcelino bounced back at Villarreal, where he has had a nice start to the season, and sees himself rising in power.
Although he doesn’t have particularly good memories of the south of France, after his time at Olympique de Marseille between July and September 2023, Marcelino came out of it a bigger man. It took him less than three months to get back to his post at Villarreal.
In the suburbs of Valencia, the native of Asturias is doing well. An eighth place at the end of the first season, and for this start of the 2024/25 act, a fifth place having played only five games against seven for some.
Villarreal is not the first Spanish club where he has played and succeeded! Having played for Sevilla FC, Valencia CF, but especially Athletic Bilbao where he made his mark, Marcelino has played more than 400 matches in La Liga and does not intend to stop there.
It is Relevo who reveals it. The technician revealed himself to the Spanish media “I believe I have the ability and experience to train the BarcaTHE real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.”
Will we see the former Marseille player on a top bench in La Liga?
