After the success at the 2026 World Cup with the Mexican National Team, Javier Aguirre stepped away from coaching, but he now presents himself as a candidate for Valencia FC amid a club restructuring.
Valencia FC is seeking a new coach following the departure of Carlos Corberán, and Javier Aguirre has been mentioned as one of the options to take the reins of the team. The club has had a difficult start in LaLiga, positioning themselves at the bottom with only one point after five matchdays, which has accelerated the search for a successor who can turn the situation around.
The club’s management has made several changes, including the appointment of Braulio Vázquez as the new sporting director. The board is considering several candidates, including Javier Aguirre, Jagoba Arrasate, José Luis Mendilibar, and Ernesto Valverde. However, Aguirre is seen as a viable option in the current context of the team, which has shown worrying performance with only one goal scored and ten conceded in their initial matches.
The termination of Corberán’s contract became effective amid significant changes in the club’s structure, which also affected other executives such as Ron Gourlay and lisando Isei. The statement from Valencia indicates that these measures reflect “the club’s desire to start a new phase in its sports structure and football management area.”
Aguirre has extensive experience in Spanish football, having managed Osasuna, Atlético de Madrid, Real Zaragoza, Espanyol, Leganés, and Mallorca over more than 17 years. If his arrival at Valencia is confirmed, it would be his seventh team in LaLiga.
The return of Aguirre to coaching in Spain is being seriously considered, despite the fact that he had previously contemplated taking a break after his stint with the national team. Valencia’s sporting crisis could open the door for the strategist to return to a familiar environment, where he has seen success in the past.
