Summary
Valencia are progressing in negotiations with Javier Aguirre to become their new manager, according to Marca. The Mexican coach has become the primary candidate for sporting director Braulio Vázquez following Carlos Corberán's departure, with contacts between the two parties ongoing for several days. A crucial conversation is pending on Friday that could seal the agreement.
Aguirre, 67, is without a club after stepping down from the Mexico national team post-World Cup 2026. He has previously managed six LaLiga clubs—Osasuna, Atlético, Zaragoza, Espanyol, Leganés and Mallorca—and is eager to return to Spanish football. Valencia intend to use the three-week international break to install their new coach and conduct a mini-preseason with the squad.
