On September 21, Beijing time, according to foreign media "superligachina", Beijing Guoan Club has met with Marcelino García Toral, the former coach of La Liga Villarreal. However, Marcelino is also a popular candidate for valencia's new manager.
Articles in foreign media said that after the contract between Marcelino García Andral and Villarreal ended, he had received many offers from international football, including one from the Chinese Premier League. Marcelino García Toral has reportedly met with the manager of the Beijing Guoan team. Previously, Beijing Guoan hired Spanish coach Gregorio Manzano, and the two sides worked together for two seasons, and this season Manzano joined Shanghai Shenhua. Guoan is once again looking for a manager from La Liga and is looking forward to replicating Manzano's success.
Marcelino García Toral became manager of Villarreal in January 2013, leading Villarreal, who was still in La Liga at the time, back in La Liga with a second-place finish. According to foreign media, Beijing Guoan currently owns Ralph, Renato Augusto and Irmaz, and Beijing Guoan is "one of the most famous football clubs in China", so it is a good choice for Marcelino Garcia Toral.
