New Villarreal coach Juan Carlos Garrido took charge of his first
training session on Tuesday after replacing Ernesto Valverde.
Garrido took over from Valverde on Monday, a day after the
club sacked his predecessor following a 2-0 home defeat to Osasuna.
Villarreal hasn't fully recovered from a poor start to the season
and lies 10th in the Spanish league on 26 points.
Garrido was coaching Villarreal's B-Team, which plays in the
second division, after being a key member of the club's youth
academy for nine years. His first game in charge comes Sunday at
fifth-place Mallorca.
Valverde had joined Villarreal in the summer after guiding
Greek club Olympiakos to a league and cup double.
