Unai Emery to replace Javi Calleja as coach of Villarreal

Unai Emery is set to replace Javi Calleja as coach of Villarreal.

Marca says after such an impressive season in charge of the Yellow Submarine, in which he has guided them to the Europa League, Calleja looks set to leave the club this summer.

In fact, Villarreal have already signed up his replacement - Unai Emery.

Villarreal reached an agreement with the former Sevilla boss some time ago and his arrival will be confirmed once the season is over.

Emery has been out of a job since being sacked by Arsenal earlier this campaign.

The Spaniard, who has also coached Paris Saint-Germain, has previously been in charge of three other clubs in LaLiga Santander - Almeria, Valencia and Sevilla.
