Valencia Football Club has made significant changes to its leadership, sacking manager Carlos Corberan and chief executive officer Ron Gourlay on Sunday. The decision comes after a winless start to the current LaLiga season, with Valencia earning only one point from their first five matches and sitting at the bottom of the league. Corberan had taken charge of the club in December 2024, leading them to a 12th-place finish and avoiding relegation. However, his tenure was marked by criticism from fans, who chanted for him to leave during recent home games. Despite his efforts, Corberan managed just 28 wins out of 72 games during his time at Valencia, resulting in a win percentage of 38.89. Ron Gourlay, who joined Valencia in May 2025, had publicly supported Corberan on several occasions. However, the club has now terminated his contract, as well as those of four other staff members who worked under him. Valencia stated that the decision is part of an effort to begin a new phase in the club's management and football operations. In a statement, the club acknowledged Corberan's contributions, saying he had "carried out his duties with professionalism, passion, and the utmost commitment" during his time at the club. They thanked him and his coaching staff for their efforts and promised to announce the new structure for their football operations soon. In the interim, Oscar Sanchez, the coach of Valencia's youth team, will take charge of the first team. The club confirmed that details about the new sporting structure will be released shortly. Valencia's next match is scheduled for Tuesday against Deportivo Alaves, a crucial game as the team looks to turn their season around. Carlos Corberan previously managed several clubs, including Huddesfield Town, West Bromwich Albion, and Olympiacos, as well as teams in Cyprus. Ron Gourlay, who has also served as CEO for clubs like Chelsea, Reading, and Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, had previously worked with Corberan at West Bromwich Albion before reuniting with him at Valencia. The departures of both Corberan and Gourlay mark a significant shift in the club's direction as it seeks to improve its performance in the league.
