The latest rumors of Valencia CF suggest that scenarios are being considered due to the poor start of Carlos Corberán, but two possible comebacks are losing strength: Marcelino García Toral and Rafa Benítez currently do not contemplate returning to Mestalla. The team is at the bottom of LaLiga with one point out of 12 and just lost 0-5 to FC Barcelona.

Corberán's situation has deteriorated just two months after renewing until June 2028. Valencia has only scored one goal in four matchdays and has suffered three consecutive defeats, numbers that have increased the pressure on a coach publicly supported by the management during the summer. There is already talk about three possible replacements for the Valencia coach.

Valencia CF: Marcelino maintains his condition to return

Marcelino García Toral, 61 years old, is one of the names that inevitably come up when discussing the Mestalla bench. The Asturian is currently without a team after ending his second spell at Villarreal at the end of last season.

However, his stance regarding Valencia CF has a very specific condition. Marcelino stated in June that he considers it impossible to return as long as Peter Lim continues to be the owner of the club, although he did not rule out reuniting with the club in a different context.

The coach is familiar with Mestalla. He managed Valencia between 2017 and 2019, securing Champions League qualification for two consecutive seasons and winning the 2019 Copa del Rey by defeating Barcelona in the final.

His departure came just a few months after that title and amid disagreements with the ownership. The relationship with Lim remains, seven years later, the main obstacle to considering a second spell.

Rafa Benítez also does not appear as an immediate solution

The other possible comeback that loses momentum is that of Rafa Benítez, currently without a bench after finishing his spell at Panathinaikos on May 23, 2026. The Madrid-born coach has a strong historical connection with Mestalla, but the current institutional scenario is far from what he encountered during his first stint.

Benítez managed Valencia between 2001 and 2004, winning two LaLiga titles and a UEFA Cup. That period made him one of the most important coaches in the club's recent history.

His potential return has been speculated on several occasions in recent years, but it has not materialized. In the current context, the management led by Peter Lim acts as a deterrent for former coaches familiar with the club's operation.

The next match increases pressure on Corberán

The immediate issue remains on the sporting front. Valencia CF is at the bottom of LaLiga, has one point, suffered three consecutive defeats, and faces the next matchday with the obligation to react after the 0-5 defeat at Mestalla.

Corberán's continuity will depend mainly on the upcoming results despite his contract until 2028. If the club decides to make a change, it will need to look at alternatives other than Marcelino García Toral and Rafa Benítez as long as the current institutional conditions of Valencia CF persist.
