Image A real bang in the coaching carousel: Íñigo Pérez is officially the new coach of Villarreal for the next three seasons. The young coach from Navarre, who will be presented tomorrow, follows in Marcelino's great footsteps. This decision is a bold bet by the Spanish club's management, who were impressed by Pérez's personality and bold style during his two-and-a-half-year tenure at Rayo Vallecano. There he reached the historic final of the Conference League with the team. At just 38 years and four months, the coach from Pamplona is now taking the next step in his career and becoming the youngest coach to ever sit on the Spanish club's bench.
