Javier Aguirre poised to take over Valencia in La Liga

Javier Aguirre is reportedly nearing a return to La Liga to manage Valencia CF. After a winless start to the season that saw the club fire manager Carlos Corberán, Aguirre is viewed as a key candidate to help stabilize the team, which currently sits last in the league. The 67-year-old former Mexico manager expressed a desire to enjoy time off after the 2026 World Cup but may take the role as soon as next week. Valencia's struggles have prompted significant changes, including the firing of CEO Ron Gourlay. Aguirre's previous record includes successful spells in Spain where he helped teams avoid relegation, creating expectations for his potential impact on the club.
