Valencia CF nears Javier Aguirre appointment amid relegation struggle

Valencia CF is undergoing a significant reconstruction following a critical start to the season, currently sitting in 19th place in LaLiga with only four points from seven matches. The club has reached a preliminary agreement to appoint Mexican manager Javier Aguirre, whose contract would run until June 2027 with a possible extension. Aguirre, who has managed six different clubs in Spain, aims to lead the team out of the relegation zone.

To bolster the squad, sporting director Braulio Vázquez is exploring the transfer market for free agents. Among the primary targets is striker Joselu, who recently finished a successful stint in Qatar. Other potential reinforcements being analyzed include Toko Ekambi. Former player Raúl García has publicly endorsed Aguirre’s appointment, noting his ability to motivate players and manage difficult locker room environments.
