The club was shaken by a tragic accident - last night, after suffering a heart attack, the newly appointed coach Manolo Preciado passed away on Wednesday.
The 54-year-old specialist, who had been coaching Chichon's "Sporting" team until January, was supposed to be introduced to the media on Friday.
"Villarreal" won a spot in the Champions League in 2010-2011, but after a very unsuccessful previous season, they dropped to the second division in Spain in terms of capacity.
