Valencia appoints former Mexico coach Javier Aguirre as its new head coach on a one-year contract. The club announces the hiring as part of an early-season rebuilding effort after a poor start in Spain’s La Liga.
Aguirre, 67, most recently leads Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, where the team reaches the last 16 before losing to England. The Athletic reports that the appointment makes him Valencia’s 18th head coach since 2012 and that he replaces Carlos Corberan in the Mestalla dugout. Across the coverage, the focus is on Valencia’s changing coaching situation and Aguirre’s recent international experience, rather than on any specific tactical or sporting plan at this stage.
