Valencia sacks CEO and manager after dismal season start
Valencia have relieved manager Carlos Corberan and chief executive Ron Gourlay of their duties following a winless start to the season. The Spanish club's decision marks a significant shake-up of its leadership.

Valencia made sweeping changes to its executive and coaching structure on Sunday, dismissing both manager Carlos Corberan and chief executive officer Ron Gourlay amid poor early-season performance. The La Liga club's winless record prompted the La Liga outfit to seek a fresh direction after weeks of underwhelming results. Corberan, who had been tasked with revitalising the club's fortunes, failed to deliver the immediate improvement the Valencia hierarchy had anticipated. The departures represent a significant overhaul at the Spanish club as it looks to arrest its slide down the standings. The club has not yet announced replacements for either position, though such decisions typically follow swiftly after high-profile dismissals in European football.
