Villarreal has sacked coach Ernesto Valverde following the team's
2-0 home defeat to Osasuna in the Spanish league.
The club said on its Web site Sunday that a replacement coach
is yet to be announced.
Valverde joined Villarreal in the summer of 2009 after
guiding Olympiakos to the Greek league and cup double. A former
Barcelona player, he has also coached Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao.
A disastrous start to the season saw Villarreal mired in the
relegation zone. The team has since climbed the league standings
although it has struggled to rise beyond the middle of the table.
It is currently in 10th position on 26 points.
