Overview
- Valencia CF announced late Thursday, November 13, that it has terminated Miguel Ángel Corona’s contract in a brief official statement.
- The club framed the exit as the first concrete step in a reorganization of its sporting structure under newly empowered CEO of Football Ron Gourlay.
- Gourlay said on October 6 that the club was beginning to activate a recruitment programme focused on the academy with a strong role for the performance department, describing a process lasting a couple of months.
- During Corona’s five-year stewardship of sporting affairs, Valencia did not return to European competition, and several transfers drew criticism, including outlays for Cenk Özkacar, Marcos André and José Copete.
- No replacement was named in the announcement, with additional structural changes expected over the coming months as the recruitment plan rolls out.
