Play-off entrants Villarreal have moved swiftly to replace Marcelino –
who left by mutual consent on Wednesday – appointing former Elche and
Getafe coach Fran Escribá.
After parting company with Marcelino on Wednesday, Villarreal have named Fran Escribá as their new coach.
The 51-year-old, who left Getafe in April, has penned a 12-month deal. His first fixture in charge of the Yellow Submarine will be the opening leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off tie against Monaco on Wednesday.
Escribá played youth football for Valencia, and though he never made a professional appearance for the Mestalla outfit, he began his coaching career with their youth sides in 2002.
He then worked as understudy to Quique Sánchez Flores at Valencia, Getafe, Benfica and Atlético Madrid between 2004 and 2011 and took his first frontline position with Segunda team Elche in June 2012. After guiding them to promotion in his debut season, he helped the Franjiverdes retain their Liga status before joining Getafe last summer.
