Villarreal have appointed Jose Molina as their new manager.
The club sacked former boss Juan Carlos Garrido on Wednesday after the club's embarrassing Copa del Rey defeat to second division Mirandes.
Molina, 41, was previously in charge of the Yellow Submarine's second team.
The former Villarreal goalkeeper will oversee his first game on Sunday, January 8 when his side hosts Valencia in La Liga.
