Valencia’s Leadership Reaffirms Support for Coach Carlos Corberan

Valencia’s executive director, Ron Gourlay, has expressed unwavering confidence in head coach Carlos Corberan amid the team’s precarious position in the league standings.

Current Situation of the Team

The team currently finds itself only one point clear of the relegation zone, compounded by a recent setback in the Copa del Rey, where they were eliminated at Mestalla by a weakened Athletic Bilbao squad. Despite these challenges, the club’s board has maintained its official position of support for the coaching staff.

Statements from Ron Gourlay

Gourlay emphasized the shared responsibility within the club’s hierarchy, stating, “The manager often becomes the focal point for criticism.”

“As the representative of this club, I accept full accountability. The situation is not solely about the manager or the players; we all share this responsibility. What this club requires is stability, and we are committed to following our strategy.”

When questioned regarding the stability of both his and Corberan’s roles, the former Chelsea director responded, “The coach remains our coach, and he will continue to be so. My position here is secure as well.”

“I am committed to seeing this project through to its conclusion. No pressure will steer me away from this course.”
