Valencia are accelerating discussions to appoint Mexican veteran Javier Aguirre as their next head coach following the abrupt exit of Carlos Corberan. The experienced tactician has moved to the top of the shortlist at the Mestalla, with the club hierarchy keen to secure an agreement that brings the seasoned figure back to Spanish football.
Javier Aguirre has emerged as a leading contender for the vacant Valencia job after exploratory talks opened between the two parties. Club chiefs acted swiftly to target the former Mexico boss following Carlos Corberan's dismissal, believing the veteran coach has the character and track record needed to drag the club out of early trouble.
Valencia's search for a permanent successor to Carlos Corberan has suffered an early setback after Ernesto Valverde formally turned down the club's managerial offer. The former Athletic Club coach remains committed to a season-long sabbatical, forcing newly appointed sporting director Braulio Vazquez to swiftly turn his attention to alternative targets.
