Valencia CF football CEO Ron Gourlay has addressed the media to defend his management and the club’s recent performance following a difficult start to the LaLiga season. The team has secured only one point from its first three matches.
Gourlay dismissed rumors of his resignation, stating that he intends to fulfill the three-year project he began in May 2025. He emphasized that while the season's start has been unacceptable, the club is moving in the right direction.

Regarding the summer transfer window, the club invested 9 million euros in new players.
