Latest news on Valencia CF: the Valencia team is already looking for a replacement after firing Carlos Corberán and is considering Ante Cacic and Thiago Motta as possible candidates to take charge. The search begins following the dismissal of the Valencia coach, while Óscar Sánchez takes over the first team temporarily.

Corberán's departure comes with the team in the last position of LaLiga after only securing 1 point out of 15 possible. The club has also parted ways with the Football CEO, Ron Gourlay, so the selection of the next coach will be part of a wider restructuring of the sports area.

Thiago Motta, an option for Valencia CF

Thiago Motta, 44 years old, is one of the coaches under consideration by Valencia CF. The Italian is currently without a team after his time at Juventus came to an end on March 23, 2025, having managed 42 games with the Turin team.

Before Juventus, Motta coached 76 games at Bologna between September 2022 and June 2024. His tenure ended with the Italian club's qualification for the Champions League, a result that later opened the doors to the Juventus bench.

His availability makes a potential deal easier as there would be no need to negotiate his release from another club. However, Thiago Motta has also emerged as a candidate for Fiorentina in recent days after their coaching change, meaning Valencia is not the only team monitoring his situation.

Motta is familiar with Spanish football from his playing days. He had spells at FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid before spending most of his career in Italy and France.

Ante Cacic, the alternative with international experience

The other name being considered by Valencia CF is Ante Cacic, a Croatian coach 72 years old and currently without a team. His most recent position was at Dinamo Zagreb, where his second stint ended in April 2023 after managing 49 games since his arrival in 2022.

Cacic also has experience as a national team coach. He led Croatia from September 2015 to October 2017, overseeing 25 matches with a record of 15 wins, four draws, and six losses.

During that time, he guided Croatia to the 2016 European Championship, where they topped their group after beating Spain 2-1. Ante Cacic has also coached the Egyptian team Pyramids, Lokomotiva Zagreb, Maribor, and Slaven Belupo, alongside his spells at Dinamo.

Valencia CF must decide Corberán's replacement

While the choice is pending, Óscar Sánchez, coach of VCF Mestalla, will lead the first team on an interim basis. The club has not publicly determined how long the reserve team coach will remain in charge.

The next move for Valencia CF will be to narrow down the list and proceed with the candidate to take over the project after Corberán's departure. With Ante Cacic and Thiago Motta among the options being considered, the decision will need to align with the new sports structure that the club plans to unveil soon.
