Villarreal and Grupo Pamesa president Fernando Roig used Cersaie 2026 in Bologna, Italy to assess the club’s start, backing head coach Iñigo Pérez and endorsing the sporting plan led by chief executive Fernando Roig Negueroles.
According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, he offered a positive early verdict yet felt the team might have taken more from the opening fixtures.
After the first LaLiga rounds, Villarreal sit on eight points. They drew away to Atlético de Madrid, then against Racing de Santander, before wins at Málaga’s La Rosaleda and at home to Levante.
Roig stressed full confidence in Pérez and his staff, saying the group are working hard and well within the roadmap set from the boardroom, and that the results will follow.
Those back to back victories lifted the mood going into the international break, with the target of extending that progress when competition resumes. Villarreal next visit Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, then host Napoli in the Champions League.
He also underlined the appeal of this European schedule, highlighting PSG, described as winners of the last two Champions League editions, among the elite visitors to the Estadio de la Cerámica.
