Villarreal Coach Dies 1 Day After Taking Job

VALENCIA, Spain (AP) — Villarreal coach Manuel Preciado died of a heart attack Thursday, one day after joining the team. He was 54.

The team said Preciado was in Valencia when he was stricken early Thursday.

“We are all shocked,” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said from Poland, where he is preparing his team for the European Championship.

“We were having breakfast and we were all taken back by the news,” he told Spanish radio Marca. “He was a caring person and a great sportsman. He was a man of football that was an honor to coaching.”
