Valencia Appoints Carlos Corberan as New Head Coach

The struggling La Liga club hires the former West Bromwich Albion manager on a deal until 2027 to help avoid relegation.

Carlos Corberan, 41, leaves West Bromwich Albion to take over as Valencia's head coach after the club exercised a $3 million buyout clause in his contract.
Valencia dismissed Rubén Baraja earlier this week following poor results that left the team 19th in La Liga, four points from safety after 17 matches.
Corberan, a former Valencia youth player, returns to his hometown and faces the challenge of keeping the six-time Spanish champions in the top flight for the first time since 1986/87.
West Brom, currently seventh in the English Championship, expressed gratitude for Corberan's two-year tenure, during which he guided the team to the playoffs last season.
Valencia's next league game is against Real Madrid on January 3, a rescheduled match due to flooding in October, as the team seeks its first win in five games.
