Raul Gonzalez, who Villarreal wants to replace Quique Setien

A few days ago, Villarreal parted ways with coach Quique Setien after losing 3 of the first 4 games of this La Liga season.

“Yellow Submarine” does not want to lose much time to name a new coach, and MARCA journalists write that the first option they can consider will be Raul Gonzalez.

Since 2018, Raúl has been coaching Madrid’s Real Castilla, and in 2020, he won the Youth Champions League with this team.

In addition, the quoted source notes that Raul has already informed Los Blancos’ management of Villarreal’s interest, and there is a good chance the move will be completed by the end of this week.

In addition to Raul Gonzalez, Villarreal also has Javi Gracia, Quique Sanchez Flores or Paceta.
