Long-awaited rescue! Valencia's next head coach revealed
The Spanish club's management has finally decided on its new head coach.
Details: According to respected insider Matteo Moretto, speaking live on Radio Marca, Mexican coach Javier Aguirre is one step away from being appointed Valencia's head coach. Negotiations between the parties have entered the final stretch, and completing the deal is now only a matter of time.
The journalist stressed that a full agreement in principle has already been reached on all key points. At present, Javier Aguirre is the clear leading candidate, and until the paperwork is finalized, he remains the coach with whom Valencia has agreed terms. The current state of the talks is reportedly far beyond the stage of ordinary advanced negotiations.
It is worth noting that the 67-year-old Mexican boasts extensive experience in the Spanish top flight, having previously managed Osasuna, Atlético Madrid, Zaragoza, Espanyol, Leganés and Mallorca. In the summer of 2026, the coach left the Mexico national team after their World Cup campaign came to an end, with El Tri reaching the round of 16.
