Braulio V\u00e1zquez, appointed Valencia<\/a> sporting director last Sunday, has begun sounding out candidates to replace Carlos Corber\u00e1n. With a three week La Liga<\/a> pause after this weekend\u2019s fixtures, he is in no rush but knows the profile must be right. Valencia sit bottom with one point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to AS, several coaches and their representatives have received calls in the past 48 hours, and no final decision has been taken. The club are focusing on identifying conditions and willingness among options who fit the brief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Javier Aguirre features on Valencia\u2019s shortlist, though there has been no contact with the Mexican so far. By contrast, Ernesto Valverde and Jos\u00e9 Luis Mendilibar are out of the frame, as they do not intend to take a bench in the short term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The priority is to choose well rather than to accelerate an appointment. Any incoming coach must believe in the squad Valencia have today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In that context, Aguirre\u2019s profile could meet the club\u2019s immediate needs, yet other names are currently better placed, which is why there has been no approach. He has been making himself visible, has vast experience and is known for winning over players with a light touch. Restoring most of the squad to their best competitive level is seen as essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
