Latest news from Valencia CF: the Peter Lim's team has decided to dismiss Carlos Corberán and also put an end to the Football CEO's chapter, Ron Gourlay, along with several members of his team. Óscar Sánchez, manager of VCF Mestalla, will temporarily take charge of the first team while the club prepares a new sports structure, as confirmed by Valencia CF.

The decision implies a profound modification of the football area. Alongside Gourlay, Lisandro Isei, Hans Gillhaus, Andrés Zamora, and Malek Shafei are leaving the entity, all of them part of the team working with the outgoing head of the sports department.

Valencia CF ends Carlos Corberán's era

Carlos Corberán leaves the bench after 72 official matches in charge of the first team. The coach arrived at Mestalla in December 2024, taking over a team in a compromising league position and securing its stay in the top flight during his first season.

The scenario has changed at the beginning of the 2026/27 season. Valencia CF has only collected 1 point out of 15 possible, with four consecutive defeats, 1 goal scored, and 10 conceded after the first five matchdays of LaLiga.

The latest loss was against Sevilla, who won 1-0 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. That result hastened a decision involving a coach whose contract was extended until 2028 on 6th July 2026.

The departure comes a little over two months after that renewal. The club has publicly acknowledged the work done by Corberán and his coaching staff since their arrival in December 2024.

Ron Gourlay also leaves Valencia CF's structure

The reshuffling goes beyond the bench. Ron Gourlay, who was appointed Football CEO in May 2025, has also terminated his contract with the club along with key members of his team.

This move breaks away from the structure used during the last transfer window, requiring the club to reorganize both the sporting direction and the coaching staff. Valencia has announced that they will soon disclose how this new phase of the football area will be configured.

The decision also comes at a time marked by sporting issues and injuries. Players like Mouctar Diakhaby, Copete, and César Tárrega have suffered physical problems in the early games, reducing the available choices especially in defense.

Óscar Sánchez takes temporary charge

The one chosen to temporarily lead the training sessions is Óscar Sánchez, formerly the coach of VCF Mestalla. His appointment allows the club to maintain the daily operations of the first team while deciding who will lead the new project from the sidelines.

The next match will be against Deportivo Alavés, leaving little time to complete the reorganization. Valencia CF will now need to announce the final composition of their new football area and decide whether Óscar Sánchez will continue in an interim role or if they will immediately bring in Corberán's replacement.
