According to Sport, Valencia's management, coaching staff, and medical department will all be overhauled. Braulio Vázquez will take over as Football CEO, replacing Ron Gourlay; the club is expected to officially announce Javier Aguirre as head coach within hours. Carlos Corberán was sacked on Sunday, 13 September, leaving the club with relations completely damaged.

Anyone with a basic understanding of football knows that Braulio's arrival, replacing the Scottish national who was out of place at Valencia and nearing retirement, is good news for Valencia. But anyone who has studied history also knows that a revolution is not just this, but far more. In a true revolution, those who hold power and rule poorly disappear from sight. A true revolution is also driven by the people, not engineered from within as it is at Valencia. In history, this has another name: conspiracy and betrayal.

Braulio and Aguirre, the bright side of a false "reset"

The reality created by this club over the years demands that facts take precedence over words and intentions. Every Valencia fan certainly has the right to hope that Braulio and Aguirre can replicate the success achieved by Alemany and Marcelino García between 2017 and 2019. However, amid despair and frustration, it is best to stay clear-headed. Do not forget that the majority shareholder has personally destroyed a project aimed at competing in the Champions League. Today, he still controls Valencia's present and future as he sees fit. He has transformed a former European giant into a team accustomed to hovering near the LaLiga relegation zone. He has also used some local Valencia executives—who reportedly claim to be Valencia fans themselves—to focus solely on cost-cutting and pushing the move from Mestalla to a new soulless and historic-less stadium. As for sporting performance, he cares not at all, and Valencia fans can only watch Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao, Real Betis, and Real Sociedad outclass and surpass their team at every transfer window, leaving them behind.

A revolution too late

Against this backdrop, amid yet another "reset," the voices of those Valencia fans who still have the energy to protest against Peter Lim, Kiat Lim, and General Manager Javier Solís remain important. It is like shouting into the wind because no politicians in this city, left or right, truly care about Valencia's fate. "Those" because, in the match against Barcelona, it was clear that among Valencia's broad fan base, only a few thousand are willing to continue opposing this management. This management, since taking over in October 2014, has squandered the team's sporting, social, and cultural heritage assets.

Nothing can hide Valencia's disease. Those who, out of love for this club, continuously remind and expose the problems, like the protesters before last Sunday's Real Sociedad match, deserve at least to be respected and supported.

Like Rubén Baraja, after a brief "divine intervention," Carlos Corberán also fell into Mestalla's abyss. Meriton consumes, exploits, and then discards its managers. Valencia managed only 1 point from a possible 12 in this tragic home farewell season, sitting second from bottom. Braulio and Aguirre will arrive with solutions once their signings are completed. They are two good men and two individuals who understand football. Now we wait to see what resources the club will give them and what tools they will be allowed to use to turn things around. However, given the precedent since 2020 and the financial focus on the stadium and Goldman Sachs bonds, this does not inspire optimism. For a club like this, can a true revolution really begin with the majority shareholder?
