Valencia turn to Aguirre’s record for revival and LaLiga survival | OneFootball

Valencia have turned to Javier Aguirre’s track record to revive a faltering start, with his LaLiga numbers pointing to safety if reproduced at Mestalla.

According to Superdeporte, new sporting director Braulio Vázquez has justified the choice by citing the Mexican’s experience in high-pressure battles and his ability to manage dressing rooms. He added that Aguirre must first assess the players face to face and that the club will support him as he sets about competing every day.

Vázquez believes the 'Vasco' suits teams hit simultaneously in morale, physical output and league position, issues Valencia have faced early this season. The coach’s record in Spain underpins that view.

Across 466 LaLiga matches with six teams, Aguirre has averaged 1.34 points per game. Replicated over the 31 rounds remaining, that rate would leave Valencia on roughly 45 or 46 points, and the team would be safe for 2027/28.

The initial conclusion from talks between Aguirre’s staff and the sporting department is that the squad must deliver more than it has shown so far. Vázquez intends to integrate with the coaches’ daily work to help maximise performance.
