Valencia has officially dismissed manager Carlos Corberan and chief executive officer Ron Gourlay following a disastrous start to the season, leaving the team at the bottom of LaLiga with just one point from five matches.

The pressure mounted on both figures as fans expressed their discontent, leading to chants of 'Corberan leave now' during home games. Corberan, who took over in December 2024, previously steered Valencia away from relegation to finish 12th, but his tactical approach drew criticism from supporters. Over his tenure, he managed 72 games, securing 28 wins and suffering 26 defeats.

Gourlay joined the club in May 2025 and had defended Corberan's position multiple times, but the club's poor performance forced a change. Alongside the managerial shift, Valencia terminated the contracts of four additional staff members under Gourlay.

In a club statement, Valencia expressed their gratitude to Corberan, acknowledging his professionalism and commitment during challenging times. The club announced that Oscar Sanchez, coach of VCF Mestalla, will take over on an interim basis while they prepare to unveil a new sporting structure and project.

Looking ahead, Valencia's next match is scheduled for Tuesday against Deportivo Alaves. Corberan's managerial resume includes previous roles at Huddersfield Town, West Bromwich Albion, and Olympiacos, while Gourlay has held CEO positions at Chelsea and Reading.
