Sicilia, popularly known as Rubi, joins the club in the wake of Levante's 4-0 home defeat against Real Sociedad, their fifth of the season, which left the Valencia-based club bottom of La Liga.

Last season Rubi led Real Valladolid to the Segunda play-offs. His first managerial role was at Espanyol in 2005 where he led the B team to promotion from Division B.

The former Spanish winger has also enjoyed stints in his native Vilassar, Ibiza-Eivissa and Girona, helping the club achieve their best finish.
