Marcelino’s Record-Breaking Tenure at Villarreal

omidbasir- Marcelino continues to set records with Villarreal. This season, he became the club’s coach with the most matches and victories in its history, surpassing Manuel Pellegrini in both categories. This upcoming weekend, he will lead the Yellow Submarine in his 200th La Liga match, coincidentally against Getafe, the team he has historically performed best against in his coaching career in Spain’s top division.

Overall, Marcelino has secured 15 wins in 32 encounters against the Madrid-based team, including matches managed for eight different clubs in professional football: Sporting de Gijón, Recreativo de Huelva, Racing de Santander, Zaragoza, Sevilla, Villarreal, Athletic de Bilbao, and Valencia. Getafe, along with Real Sociedad, is one of the teams he has faced most often from the sidelines, achieving a 47% victory rate in these matchups. If he triumphs at the Coliseum on Saturday, this percentage will rise to 50%, making Getafe the team most impacted by the success of teams coached by the Asturian.

In terms of statistics related specifically to his tenure at Villarreal, he has achieved seven victories against Getafe, which ties with Real Sociedad and RCD Espanyol as the teams he has defeated most frequently. In La Liga, Marcelino has managed Villarreal in 199 matches, recording 96 wins (48% win rate), 51 draws, and 52 losses. These figures extend to a total of 282 matches when considering all competitions.
