Javier Aguirre, a 67-year-old Mexican coach, is in the spotlight in the latest news about Valencia CF as he is negotiating his incorporation as coach following the departure of Carlos Corberán. Braulio Vázquez has been in contact with the Mexican for several days, and the club aims to take advantage of the next international break in LaLiga to resolve the coaching position.

Javier Aguirre gaining ground to coach Valencia CF

Conversations with Javier Aguirre have progressed over the past few days and now include sporting and contractual matters. The agreement is not yet finalized, but the coach has emerged as one of the main choices considered by Braulio Vázquez to kickstart the new phase of the first team.

His knowledge of the league is one of the key aspects in his candidacy. Aguirre has previously managed in Spain with Osasuna, Atlético de Madrid, Zaragoza, Espanyol, Leganés, and Mallorca. Therefore, Valencia would be his seventh club in LaLiga if he accepts the position.

The coach is currently without a team after his tenure with the Mexican national team following the 2026 World Cup. Since then, he has received offers from various clubs and national teams, but returning to Spanish football remains one of his options.

The financial aspect does not seem to be the main obstacle in finalizing the negotiations. One proposed solution is to sign until the end of the 2026-27 season and include the option to continue for the following season based on meeting specific objectives, including avoiding relegation.

Initially, Braulio Vázquez's top choice was Ernesto Valverde, but the coach opted to continue his sabbatical year and declined an immediate return to coaching. This led Valencia to explore other alternatives, and enhanced Javier Aguirre's chances.

The club has managed the process without rushing the appointment before the next match. Óscar Sánchez will remain in charge against Real Sociedad, allowing negotiations to continue without disrupting immediate match preparation.

The decision is contingent upon the upcoming international break. Following this weekend's match, Valencia will have about three weeks before returning to the regular schedule, a period the club intends to utilize for the new coach to work with the squad at Paterna.

Javier Aguirre could start during LaLiga's break

Valencia's plan is to use this interim period as a mini pre-season. The new coach would have several sessions to get to know the players, implement his strategies, and prepare for the upcoming matches without immediately jumping into an official game.

For Javier Aguirre, this agreement would mark his return to Spain after his last spell with Mallorca. The Mexican is familiar with the league, having had six previous stints with Spanish clubs, which reduces the initial adaptation period.

The next few days will be crucial. Valencia CF needs to finalize the sporting and contractual terms before making the appointment official, with Javier Aguirre remaining one of the top candidates to take over during the LaLiga break.
