Valencia CEO Ron Gourlay Backs Corberán, Urges Unity After Stumbling Start

The football chief broke his silence to urge unity, declining to state a clear objective for this season.

Overview

  • Gourlay said he has "absolute confidence" in coach Carlos Corberán and the squad and asked supporters to stay united.
  • He avoided setting a concrete target and said he cannot promise European qualification, asking that the team be judged at season’s end.
  • He described the team as still under construction and pointed to fixable "small details" such as late concessions and poor game management.
  • The intervention follows a poor opening run of eight points from eight league matches, including a 6-0 loss to Barcelona and defeats to Oviedo and Girona.
  • Questions from local media highlighted ongoing concerns over ownership clarity and recruitment, noting that most summer signings have underperformed so far.
