Valencia's poor form has been well-documented, with the club losing four of the five competitive matches and drawing once. Their latest defeat came last Friday, when they lost 1-0 to Sevilla. Corberán was appointed as head coach in December 2024 and stood 72 games at the helm of Valencia. The club has thanked Corberán and his technical staff for their efforts during their time in charge.

The dismissal of Corberán is part of a wider shake-up at the club, with the entire technical staff also being let go. This decision reflects the club's intention to launch a new phase in the management of the sports structure and football. Óscar Sánchez, who was previously in charge of the club's reserve team, will take over as the interim head coach of Valencia. He will work together with Arnaut Danjuma, Justin de Haas, and Kayne van Oevelen.
