Valencia CF undergoes major management overhaul and player signings

Valencia CF is undergoing a major institutional overhaul following a disastrous start to the La Liga season. The club has dismissed manager Carlos Corberán and CEO Ron Gourlay after failing to secure a single victory in the first five matches. Braulio Vázquez has been appointed as the new sporting director, tasked with rebuilding the club's sporting structure. Óscar Sánchez, previously the Valencia Mestalla coach, has taken temporary charge of the first team and secured the club's first win of the season with a 1-0 victory against Deportivo Alavés.

The club is actively searching for a permanent manager, with names such as Javier Aguirre and Ernesto Valverde being discussed, though Valverde has reportedly declined.

In basketball news, Valencia Basket has announced the signing of veteran center Nikola Mirotić. The Montenegrin-Spanish player joins as a free agent following his departure from Monaco, signing a contract that runs through the end of the 2026/2027 season.
