Javier Aguirre returns to LaLiga to coach Valencia CF

The arrival of Javier Aguirre marks a comeback to a competition he knows well from his previous stints with six clubs. In LaLiga, he has managed Osasuna, Atlético de Madrid, Real Zaragoza, Espanyol, Leganés, and Mallorca before adding Valencia to that list.

His first experience in Spanish football began with Osasuna. Between 2002 and 2006, he led the Navarrese team to the Copa del Rey final in 2005 and finished fourth in the league during the 2005/06 season, a result that allowed the club to qualify for the Champions League for the first time.

He then moved on to Atlético, Zaragoza, Espanyol, and Leganés before returning to Spain to take charge of Mallorca in 2022. His career also includes spells outside of Spanish football with national teams and clubs in Mexico, Japan, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.

Valencia CF is betting on a coach with direct experience in the competition and familiarity with different scenarios within the Spanish championship. Aguirre returns to daily work at a club after concluding his third spell as coach of the Mexican national team.

Mexico, the last team coached by Aguirre

Javier Aguirre arrives at Mestalla after the 2026 World Cup, his third stint as Mexico's head coach following Korea and Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010. In this last edition, he managed to advance through the initial rounds before being eliminated in the round of 16.

His recent cycle with Mexico also brought two titles in 2025. The team won the CONCACAF Nations League and subsequently the Gold Cup, a tournament Aguirre had previously won as coach in 2009.

In Mexican club football, his accolades include the Winter Tournament of 1999 with Pachuca and the CONCACAF Champions League of 2021 with Monterrey. These achievements are in addition to the titles he secured during his time in the United Arab Emirates.

Presentation at Mestalla on September 28

The next step will be his official introduction as Valencia CF's coach. The club has scheduled the presentation to the media for Monday, September 28 at the press room of Camp de Mestalla.

From there, Javier Aguirre will begin working with the squad and prepare for his debut in LaLiga. His continuation beyond the end of the season will depend on Valencia's option to extend the agreement for an additional campaign.
