Carlos Corberán Poised to Leave West Brom for Valencia Manager Role

The Spanish coach is in advanced negotiations with his boyhood club following the dismissal of Rubén Baraja.

  • Carlos Corberán, currently managing West Bromwich Albion, is expected to join Valencia as their new head coach after the sacking of Rubén Baraja.
  • Valencia, struggling in 19th place in La Liga, have initiated talks with West Brom and are prepared to pay Corberán's reported £3 million release clause.
  • Corberán has a personal connection to Valencia, having grown up near the city and played in the club's academy and B team before retiring as a player.
  • At West Brom, Corberán revived the team's fortunes, lifting them from relegation danger in 2022 to a play-off semi-final finish last season; they are currently seventh in the Championship.
  • Valencia's poor start to the season, with just two wins in 17 matches, has left them in a relegation battle, prompting the club to seek Corberán's leadership.
