Valencia wields the axe after dismal start
Valencia has sacked coach Carlos Corberan and football CEO Ron Gourlay after a torrid start to the season.
Corberan took over at Valencia in December 2024, leading it to a 12th-place finish in LaLiga in 2024-25 and then a ninth-place finish last season.
However, Ls Che lencia have not won any of their opening five league games this season, taking just one point, with their run including a 5-0 loss to Barcelona.
That form has seen them prop up the table, and former West Brom boss Corberan has now been relieved of his duties.
Corberan oversaw 72 matches in charge, registering 28 wins. He averaged 1.31 points per game across 64 LaLiga fixtures.
His departure was combined with the news that Valencia has also parted company with its football chief Gourlay, as well as his team, consisting of Lisandro Isei, Hans Gillhaus, Andres Zamora, and Malek Shafei.
"This decision reflects the club's intention to begin a new phase for the running of the sporting structure and football operations," Valencia's statement read.
VCF Mestalla coach Oscar Sanchez has been appointed as Valencia's interim coach.
