Villarreal, Spain (My Sportsbook) - Villarreal president Fernando Roig has dismissed reports claiming coach Ernesto Valverde is on the verge of being sacked.

Valverde has presided over a dismal start to the new season, with the Yellow Submarine just one point off the bottom of the La Liga table after failing to win any of their six opening games.

"I believe in him blindly," said Roig. "Ernesto is a technician who is very accountable with what is happening, but more importantly he shows daily in his work that he is the valid choice to lead this club.

"I am the first to see or notice that things are not done right or not working well, but at the moment I do not have this feeling.

"I see that everyone is working hard to get where we should be and it calms me."
