You have a stand, you take a new!
In december, Villarreal president Fernando Roig convinced that Javi Calleja could not save the La Liga club. He therefore chose to fire the coach 10. december.
We rewind seven weeks and a day forward. Now Roig convinced that Calleja is exactly right to get ’yellow submarine’ up to the surface.
