Valencia appoints Carlos Corberan as its new head coach

Birmingham�बर्मिंघम : Carlos Corberán has left his role as head coach of West Bromwich Albion and has become the new manager of Valencia. According to Sky Sports, the Spanish club confirmed the appointment after satisfying the release clause in Corberán's contract. “Carlos Corberán has become the new coach of Valencia CF until 2027,” Valencia said in a statement on Tuesday, as quoted by Sky Sports.

“I can't begin to explain how I feel about West Bromwich Albion, its fans and everyone associated with the club,” Corberan wrote in a post on social media, as quoted by Sky Sports.

“In my more than two years here, I have felt nothing but love from this community and the decision to leave has been the hardest decision of my life,” she wrote. He said, “There will always be a place in my heart for this special club, and I hope that one day I will be back to thank you all for your incredible support.”

Corberan, who previously managed Huddersfield and worked under Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds, takes charge of West Brom in October 2022, replacing Steve Bruce following his dismissal. In his first full season, 2023/24, Corberán led the team to the Sky Bet Championship play-offs, although they lost to eventual winners Southampton in the semi-finals.

Currently, West Brom are seventh in the Championship, just outside the play-off positions on goal difference. They are undefeated in their last 14 matches, with only one defeat during that time, and will face Derby at Pride Park on Boxing Day. Meanwhile, Chris Brunt, Damia Abela and Boaz Myhill will take over first-team duties on an interim basis. West Brom chairman Shillen Patel paid tribute to Corberon on his departure.

“I'd like to thank Carlos for his hard work since arriving at Albion at one of the most challenging times in the club's modern era,” Patel wrote on social media, according to Sky Sports. Valencia, who are currently second from bottom in La Liga with just two wins from their opening league matches, have parted ways with former Spain international Ruben Baraja after a disappointing start to the season.
