Javi Calleja has signed a new two-year deal with Villarreal.

Villarreal have announced that coach Calleja has extended his contract a further two seasons.

Calleja was initially sacked by Villarreal in December before returning to the dugout at the Estadio de la Ceramica at the end of January.

The Spaniard steered the Yellow Submarine to safety in LaLiga Santander after their position in Spain's top flight looked under threat.

Villarreal will hold a Monday media conference to confirm the news.
