Villarreal coach Marcelino is ready to return to Europa League opponents Olympique Marseille tonight.

Marcelino returns to the Velodrome having been forced out of Marseille by ultras before the start of the season.

He said: "We left because this is how all parties mutually decided. There were circumstances. Sometimes you have to make decisions. Now we have to look at the past and learn from it. In this period at OM I learned a lot. Today I feel comfortable in another club. This is the life of coaches. I have no regrets for what happened. But I have a clear conscience.

"When I arrived here I would have liked my contract to end in a normal way. But there were circumstances that prevented this. I focus on the present. The past is a true story from which you always learn something. I have no arguments to talk about the OM situation. I didn't follow the matches but only the results. There are many similarities with Villarreal. We have excellent players, but we played less than expected and there are many coaching changes. I have no reproaches to make to anyone. I look at the past with a positive outlook and focus on the present. I'm happy at Villarreal.

"Aubameyang? I was totally convinced of his value. He is an extraordinary footballer. He has seven goals in the Europa League. I hope we make sure it's not his day like it was on the way back. He is a great player, with a lot of experience. We will try to stop him."
