Summary
Javier Aguirre landed at Manises airport and headed straight to Paterna to oversee his first session with the squad. The 67-year-old Mexican, who has spent 15 seasons in LaLiga across six clubs, was brought in by sporting director Braulio Vázquez to stabilise a team in crisis after just four points from seven games. Aguirre said the club has "individual quality" and insisted there is "much league left to play", though he acknowledged "circumstances are what they are". He cited Valencia's history and the fortress that Mestalla once was as reasons for taking the job.
