La Liga\u2019s relegation-threatened Valencia have appointed Carlos Corberan as their new manager after prising him from English second-tier side West Bromwich Albion, the clubs announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The fallen Spanish giants exercised a buyout clause in Corberan\u2019s contract to bring him to Mestalla on a deal lasting to 2027, days after sacking coach Ruben Baraja.<\/p>\n
Corberan, a former Valencia youth goalkeeper, guided West Brom to the Championship playoffs last season. He spent just over two years at the club, which expressed its \u201cgratitude and best wishes\u201d.<\/p>\n
Corberan, 41, has also coached Huddersfield Town and Greek giants Olympiacos as well as assisting Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United. He faces a daunting challenge to save Valencia from the drop.<\/p>\n
The six-time Spanish champions have not played outside the top flight since the 1986\/87 season but sit 19th in La Liga, four points from safety, with just 12 points from 17 matches.<\/p>\n
