Villarreal will look to bounce back from consecutive defeats when they welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio de la Ceramica for Wednesday's La Liga contest.
The visitors, meanwhile, will have the opportunity to claim consecutive league victories for the first time since March.
The 58-year-old saw his side beaten 3-0 by Real Sociedad earlier this month, before they produced a positive response to record a 3-2 win over Rennes and secure top spot of their Europa League group.
However, a trip to the Santiago Bernabeu at the weekend brought about another disappointing result, as goals from Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz and Luka Modric made Jose Luis Morales's effort prove meaningless in a heavy 4-1 defeat.
Having achieved a top-seven finish in each of the last four seasons, Villarreal's struggles are reflected in the fact that they are in 14th place and just three points above Wednesday's opponents, who occupy 18th position ahead of this week's round of fixtures.
