Valencia sack head coach Carlos Corberan and chief executive Ron Gourlay
Summary

The club currently sits at the bottom of the league table, having secured only one point from their opening five matches. Last week, the team suffered a 5-0 loss to Barcelona. Valencia B coach Oscar Sanchez will serve as interim manager while the organization initiates a new phase for its football operations.
