Valencia have officially announced the appointment of Javier Aguirre as head coach. The Spanish club, currently struggling in La Liga, have decided to put their first team in the hands of the Mexican coach following the departure of Carlos Corberán.

Aguirre succeeds Corberán

Valencia have made a difficult start to the league season. After seven rounds of La Liga, the club sit 19th with just four points and only one win. In response to these results, the Valencia board had announced the departure of Carlos Corberán, as well as sporting director Ron Gourlay and several members of the coaching staff.

The club have now chosen Javier Aguirre to take charge of the first team. The Mexican coach has extensive experience in Spanish football. During his career, he has notably managed Osasuna, Atlético de Madrid, Real Zaragoza, Espanyol, Leganés and Mallorca.

Presentation scheduled for Monday

Javier Aguirre will officially be presented as Valencia’s new head coach at a press conference scheduled for next Monday. He arrives after his most recent spell in charge of the Mexico national team. Aguirre managed Mexico at the last World Cup, where they were eliminated in the round of 16.

His first task will be to revive a team currently involved in the battle to escape the relegation zone. The Mexican coach will need to secure results quickly to help the club climb the table. His return to La Liga therefore offers him another experience in charge of a Spanish club.
