Braulio Vázquez takes charge at Valencia as coaching search begins | OneFootball

Braulio Vázquez has assumed control of Valencia’s sporting department after arriving at the team hotel on Monday to meet the squad before facing Deportivo Alavés. He steps in during the most delicate period in the club’s history, amid their worst start to a season.

His immediate priority is appointing the right head coach, and he is resisting any rush. According to As, it has been impossible to convince his preferred choice, Ernesto Valverde, who intends to take a break from coaching this season.

Alternative candidates are being considered as he seeks the right fit for the Mestalla dugout.

In principle, the plan is for Óscar Sánchez to remain on the touchline for the Real Sociedad game at Mestalla. The incoming coach would then use the two week international break starting next Monday as a mini pre-season to lay down ideas.

Earlier, Vázquez bade an emotional farewell to Osasuna, saying Valencia holds a special place for him despite his happiness in Pamplona. He also indicated he wants to believe he will be given the autonomy he has been promised in decision making at Mestalla.
