Javier Aguirre emerges as contender for Valencia job in LaLiga | OneFootball

Javier Aguirre could be facing a new opportunity to coach in Spanish football. The Mexican manager is among the options Valencia is considering to take over the bench, according to information published by Marca.

Contacts between the Spanish club’s board and the ‘Vasco’s’ camp have reportedly already begun, as the club looks for alternatives following its difficult start to the season.

Valencia looks for a solution to its poor start

The Mestalla side is going through a difficult period in LaLiga, where after five matchdays it sits at the bottom of the table.

Given this situation, Aguirre’s experience with Spanish teams could become one of the arguments for considering his appointment.

The Mexican is more than familiar with the pressure of Spanish football and has coached clubs such as Atlético de Madrid, Espanyol, Zaragoza, Leganés and Mallorca, in addition to his memorable spell at Osasuna.

Braulio Vázquez could bring Aguirre closer

One of the factors fueling the possibility of Aguirre arriving at Valencia is the presence of Braulio Vázquez, the club’s new sporting director.

The executive arrived from Osasuna, precisely one of the teams where the Mexican manager had one of the most important spells of his career.

Aguirre coached the Pamplona side between 2002 and 2006, a period in which he qualified them for the Champions League and reached the Copa del Rey final.

Vázquez’s connection with the Navarrese club and the familiarity with the Mexican coach’s work could help pave the way for a possible approach.

A new adventure for the ‘Vasco’ in Spain

Aguirre has just completed a spell in charge of the Mexico National Team, so his possible return to club football would represent a new challenge after his experience at the 2026 World Cup.

Valencia, meanwhile, needs to react quickly to climb off the bottom of LaLiga.

For now, Aguirre appears to be one of the alternatives on the table, and contacts with his representatives are reportedly already underway. The situation could progress in the coming days as the club decides the future of its bench.
