Pablo Hernández, 41-year-old coach of Castellón, is among the options for Valencia CF's signing due to the difficult situation of Carlos Corberán. The Valencian team is bottom of LaLiga with one point out of 12 possible, while Hernández is under contract with the albinegro club until 2029.

The sports management led by Ron Gourlay is analyzing possible scenarios following Valencia's start. Corberán has suffered three consecutive defeats and the team has only scored one goal in four matches, increasing the pressure on his continuity.

Pablo Hernández climbs the ranks on Valencia CF's list

The name of Pablo Hernández has gained significance due to his work with Castellón. The coach ended the last season taking the team to the promotion playoffs and finished with an average of 1.89 points per game, one of the highest in the category in the 21st century among coaches with at least 25 matches.

The start of the 2026/27 season has strengthened his candidacy. Castellón currently leads LaLiga Hypermotion with 10 points out of 12, after three wins and a draw in the first four matchdays.

The defensive numbers also support this beginning. The team has only conceded one goal in four matches and is coming off a 2-0 victory over Albacete at Castalia, a result that kept them alone at the top spot.

Hernández is also familiar with Mestalla. He came through the Valencia youth system and played 158 official matches for the first team before continuing his career outside Spain.

Castellón renewed his contract until 2029

Convincing the coach would not be an easy task. Castellón announced on June 17, 2026 his renewal until 2029, after Hernández led the albinegro team in the previous season and reached the playoffs.

The coach has also publicly expressed satisfaction with the current project. After the summer transfer window closed, he praised the composition of a squad with options in all positions, now focused solely on the competition.

This scenario contrasts with the situation Valencia is facing. Corberán's team is at the bottom of LaLiga and their next match is against Sevilla, a game of particular importance given the poor start.

The situation also recalls that of the 2024/25 season, when a similarly negative start led to a change in the dugout. Currently, Valencia's management has not made any decisions regarding Corberán. However, there are already names being considered to replace the Valencian in the Valencia dugout.

The next match could set the stage

The immediate margin for the coach lies in reacting in the upcoming matches. Valencia will face three games in nine days before the next international break, a period that will allow the sports management to assess the team's sporting response.

Meanwhile, Pablo Hernández will continue leading the Segunda's leaders and remains under contract until 2029. If Valencia CF ultimately decides to replace Corberán, they will have to negotiate with Castellón and convince a coach currently striving to take the albinegro team to La Liga.
