Overview
- Valencia sacked coach Carlos Corberán and CEO Ron Gourlay after a winless start and put reserve-team coach Óscar Sánchez in temporary charge.
- Multiple reports say Javier Aguirre has emerged as the leading candidate and an agreement in principle is in place pending final contractual details.
- The club has tasked new sporting director Braulio Vázquez with fast-tracking negotiations and preparing to bring the new coach into the Paterna training base.
- Aguirre, 67, has a long LaLiga record of rescuing struggling teams and reportedly wants a contract for the current season with an option for a second year tied to survival targets.
- Valencia sits near the bottom of LaLiga, and the appointment is being treated as an urgent move to stabilize results and protect the club in its final season at the Mestalla.
