Llaneza arrived at Villarreal in 1994, and the “Yellow Submarine” have since twice reached the Champions League semi-finals and won the Europa League in 2021, as well as finishing second in La Liga in the 2007/08 season.

The vice-president had been diagnosed with blood cancer in February and Villarreal players took to the pitch against Granada wearing special t-shirts in support of the Spaniard. His wife, Encarna Carceller, died in September.
