On Monday, Javier Aguirre will have an important mission on his agenda: signing his contract with Valencia. On Sunday, lawyers and financial advisors of the club and the coach finalized the final details of the agreement, resolving the issues that inevitably emerge in negotiations of this type. What neither party denies anymore is that Aguirre will lead Valencia until June 30, taking charge of a team currently in the relegation zone of La Liga. El Vasco will become the 67th coach in Valencia's history and the first born in Mexico.
When will you take over the reins at Mestalla?
Aguirre is scheduled to fly to Spain on Wednesday. This means that Thursday could be the first time he will be officially presented and start working on the training pitch in Valencia. For the moment, Los Che have informed interim coach Óscar Sánchez that he will remain in charge for first team training until he can pass the baton to Aguirre in person. Indeed, Valencia's reserve team will play against West Ham in England on Wednesday in their first match of the Premier League International Cup, but the club has told Sánchez that he will remain behind to continue leading the first team's training sessions.

Aguirre's coaching team at Valencia
Aguirre should arrive at the Mestalla accompanied by at least two Spanish assistants whom he knows and trusts completely: his deputy, Toni Amor, and the athletic trainer Pol Lorente, who left his role with the Mexican national team. Aguirre and his staff have spent the last few days analyzing Valencia's roster. In telephone conversations between the Mexican coach and Braulio Vázquez, the two have already discussed the areas of concern and the needs they hope to address in the transfer market, mainly in defense and, more specifically, in the center of defense. These discussions will become more detailed once Aguirre has had the opportunity to evaluate his players' performances day in and day out.
Meanwhile, while Valencia waits for Aguirre, the team will continue its usual routine under Sánchez. Sánchez's most significant legacy from his two matches in charge was the emergence of Aaron Mayol and Aimar Blázquez. At the moment, neither is expected to travel with the reserve team for the match against West Ham, with the plan to have them work first under Sánchez and then with Aguirre during these weeks of transition between managers and the first team's break from competitive action. Starting on Thursday, Aguirre, Amor and Lorente will naturally start putting together the team's work plan for the next three weeks, and there is a possibility that El Vasco will ask to play at least one friendly before Valencia face Racing Santander in La Liga on 11 October.
What happens now
Aguirre is expected in Spain on Wednesday and could be officially presented on Thursday. Meanwhile, interim coach Óscar Sánchez will continue to manage the first team's training, ensuring a smooth transition until the arrival of Aguirre, who will immediately face the pressure of improving Valencia CF's performances.
