Villarreal could not continue their good trend, tonight they can stopped by Rayo Vallecano with score 0-1, although they have tried several opportunities. But I think Villarreal position in the standings may still be safe for a while because Real Betis will against Barcelona at the Benito Villamarín, it also seems likely that Real Betis will find it difficult to get points in that match although at home.
Villarreal's defeat to Vallecano was truly unexpected, in that match Vallecano looked very defensive and very careful. although currently Villarreal's position in the standings is still safe but they are competing with Real Betis because of the same points, if Villareal won against Vallecano, they have shifted the ATM position.
Unfortunately, Gattuso failed to become Valencia coach. He was reportedly fired by Valencia as of January 30, 2023. It was very hard for a Gattuso to become a coach, he didn't shine so much, since 2013, he could only give 1 Coppa Italia trophy to Napoli. Meanwhile, when he coached other clubs, including Valencia, he experienced difficulties. Valencia in bad position, they are only 1 point different from the team in the relegation zone. Despite being in 14th position at the moment, it looks like the Valencia board does not want this negative result to continue, and has decided to sign mutual agreement to terminate the contract with Gattuso.
valencia's management is really funny, they blame Gattuso because currently valencia is still in an unsafe zone but they don't want to add a number of potential players for valencia. Gattuso has moved clubs several times, hopefully, he will soon find a suitable team and want to stay with him for a long time.
