Guiding Villarreal into the Europa League has got coach Javi Calleja an extension of one-year on his contract at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Calleja was promoted from his role with the B team for the remaining of the season following the sacking of Fran Escriba last September.
An official club statement said: “Villarreal and Javi Calleja have reached a renewal agreement for the coach from Madrid to lead the Yellow Submarine during the 2018-19 season. A news conference will be held on Monday … in which a member of the Villarreal board and Javi Calleja himself will detail the agreement and discuss the news. The coach will continue to count on the support of his current staff.”
