Former Villarreal coach Quique Setién remains in legal dispute with the club over a year after his departure. Setién is claiming financial compensation that doubles what he would have received if he had stayed at the Villarreal helm until June 30, 2024, arguing that his dismissal was unjustified. This situation has led to a conflict that will need to be resolved in court.

The Villarreal board maintains that Setién's dismissal was justified. According to club sources, both the management and the team from that season supported the decision to part ways with the Cantabrian coach. The main reason cited is the poor preseason under Setién's leadership, resulting in a loss of confidence in his ability to lead the team.

No agreement between Villarreal and Setién

Setién, on the other hand, denies that the preseason was sufficient grounds for his dismissal and argues that his departure was unjustified. This impasse has left the conflict unresolved, with no agreement between the two parties as they await a judge's ruling on whether Villarreal acted appropriately or if Setién is entitled to the compensation he is demanding.

This is not the first legal battle Setién is facing, as he previously had a legal dispute with Barcelona after leaving the Catalan club. In the case of Villarreal, the situation remains unresolved, with the outcome resting in the hands of the judiciary to determine who is in the right.
