Valencia CF management and coaching overhaul

Overview

Valencia CF has initiated a significant institutional restructuring following a winless start to the La Liga season. The club dismissed manager Carlos Corberán and CEO Ron Gourlay, appointing Braulio Vázquez as the new sporting director to rebuild the sporting structure.

Following the dismissal of Corberán, the club has struggled in LaLiga, sitting in 19th place with only four points from seven matches, recording one win, one draw, and five losses. To address this, Valencia has reached an agreement to appoint Javier Aguirre as the new head coach. The contract is set to run until June 30, 2027, but includes a specific performance clause: an automatic one-year extension if the team qualifies for the Europa League.

Aguirre, 67, returns to Spanish football after recently concluding his tenure with the Mexican national team. He is expected to bring his own technical staff, including assistant coach Toni Amor and physical trainer Pol Lorente. Former player Raúl García has publicly endorsed the appointment, noting Aguirre’s ability to motivate players and manage “difficult locker room environments.”

As part of the broader effort to stabilize the club and bolster the squad, the sporting direction is currently evaluating free agents to strengthen the attack. Primary targets under consideration include striker Joselu, following his stint with Al-Gharafa, and Toko Ekambi.
