Valencia CF management and coaching overhaul

Overview

Valencia CF has undergone a significant institutional restructuring following a poor start to the La Liga season. Following the dismissals of manager Carlos Corberán and CEO Ron Gourlay, the club appointed Braulio Vázquez as sporting director. After a brief interim period led by Óscar Sánchez, Javier Aguirre was appointed head coach. Aguirre, 67, signed a contract through the end of the 2026-27 season, which includes an automatic one-year extension if the club qualifies for the UEFA Europa League.

Aguirre’s tenure began with a focus on intensive training and squad assessment. His debut resulted in a 2-2 draw against Racing de Santander, followed by a 0-0 draw against Athletic Club at Mestalla. While the team has shown defensive improvements, securing clean sheets, they remain in a difficult position near the relegation zone.

To address scoring struggles and squad depth, Aguirre has prioritized the integration of academy players such as Mayol, Otorbi, Aimar, and Córdoba, noting that those not receiving first-team minutes will be assigned to the reserve side to maintain rhythm. Additionally, the club is awaiting the return of striker Umar Sadiq from a hamstring injury, with his full reintegration into training expected to precede a potential return against Elche.
