Javier Aguirre appointed Valencia coach
Valencia announced the appointment of Javier Aguirre as head coach until the end of the current season, with an option to extend for one more year, after sacking Carlos Corberan amid a weak start that left the club second-bottom with four points from seven matches. Aguirre, 67, recently led Mexico to the 2026 World Cup last 16 and previously coached in Spain at Real Mallorca, taking them to their first Copa del Rey final in 21 years before leaving in 2024. The move aims to stabilise a club that has not finished higher than ninth since 2018/19 and faces ownership scrutiny under Peter Lim.
