Valencia targets coach pursued by Leicester to replace Baraja

On Monday, Valencia, currently bottom of La Liga, dismissed Rubén Baraja as head coach. Now, the "Bats" are intensifying their search for a new manager, and a surprising candidate has emerged.

Details: According to Relevo, Valencia initially considered former coach Quique Sánchez Flores, but talks with him ended unsuccessfully. The club has now shifted focus to West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberán.

Valencia is negotiating with the Championship side over Corberán's release clause, set at €2 million. However, the Spanish club is looking to reduce the fee—a condition West Brom is unwilling to accept.

Reminder: Corberán was previously linked with Leicester City following Steve Cooper’s departure, but the Foxes ultimately chose former Manchester United manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
