Levante have hired former Sevilla, Deportivo La Coruna and Athletic Bilbao coach Joaquin Caparros on a one-year contract to replace the departing Juan Ignacio Martinez, the La Liga club said on Sunday.
.
"Joaquin Caparros will take charge of Levante's bench during the 2013-14 campaign," the modest Valencia-based side said on their website (www.levanteud.com).
.
"The agreement reached ties the two parties together for a period of one season."
.
One of Spain's most experienced coaches, the 57- year-old Caparros has also had stints at Recreativo Huelva, Villarreal and, most recently, Real Mallorca.
.
Martinez, affectionately known as JIM, is leaving after an 11th-place finish in La Liga and a run to the last 16 of the Europa League last season.

Levante has lost its taste immediately after Obafemi Martins left them. I was a fan because of him.
