Villarreal announce release of Mandi from his contract

The defender has had his contract terminated so he can find himself a new club.

Mandi, who had been at the club for three seasons, leaves Villarreal after battling for minutes under Marcelino's command.

The Algerian arrived free from Betis after being a very prominent defender at the Verdiblanco club. However, despite some good games, he has never reached his best level with the Castellón club.

Now 32, Mandi is seeking a new club where he can have regular minutes.
