Marcelino is Valencia boss

FALLEN La Liga giant Valencia yesterday named Marcelino Garcia Toral as the man charged with turning around its fortunes next season.

The former Villarreal boss has signed a two-year deal at the Mestalla to become the sixth coach hired by Singaporean owner Peter Lim in the past two years. Caretaker coach Voro will be in charge for Valencia’s final two games of the season against Espanyol and Villarreal. Marcelino had been a candidate as far back as September when Pako Ayestaran was sacked just four games into the season. However, La Liga rules don’t allow coaches to manage more than one club in the same season and Marcelino was deemed to have started the campaign at Villarreal, although he was sacked before its first game of the season in August.
