Former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui is being linked with the Villarreal job.
Villarreal sacked coach Quique Setien this morning after just four games this season.
And the board is eager to bring in his replacement swiftly during the international recess.
Top of the list is Lopetegui, says AS, who is available after leaving Wolves before the start of the season.
Also being considered is former Real Valladolid coach Jose 'Pacheta' Rojo.
