Valencia CF has experienced a difficult start to the La Liga season, struggling to secure points and facing significant internal changes. Early reports indicated the club had earned only one point from four matches and struggled offensively.

By mid-September, the club’s situation worsened as they sat at the bottom of the standings following four consecutive defeats. This period of poor performance coincided with leadership transitions, including the departures of head coach Carlos Corberan and chief executive Ron Gourlay. Braulio Vazquez has returned as sporting director while the club seeks a permanent head coach.
