The new sports director of Valencia, Braulio Vázquez, said in the act of his presentation in the position, that the Mexican Javier Aguirre has been the chosen coach because he does not scare the context through which the entity goes and that he faces the challenge with “many ambition”.
“One of their most important values is group management. The context Valencia does not scare him, he knows where he comes from, he comes with a lot of ambition and we need someone who does not scare him the challenges. He knows the league and Valencia, which is important,” he said in the press room of Mestalla on Wednesday.

In addition to his dilated experience, Braulio valued Aguirre’s involvement through an anecdote: “We had a video call of time and peak after the match against the Alavés in which he talked about things we needed. He also asked for videos from all the matches to analyze the team.”
However, the sports director did not want to give details of the additional season that the club will have to extend his contract, but assured that “there is no coach signed for the coming year or from far away” and added that his continuity is not ruled out if he is happy with the team’s performance.

“We can stay fourteen or fifteenth and be happy with it and expand it. We will judge day by day with the players,” added Braulio, who also assures that he talks every week with Ernesto Valverde and few times of football, as well as with Unai Emery and that not for that the people should think that there are options to get to Valencia.
On the other hand, Braulio commented that he has direct and assiduous contact with Valencia president Kiat Lim. “We have ‘whatsapp’ group with Javi (Javier Solís) and different calls. He asks me my opinions and I transfer them,” he said.
He was also asked if he believes he can work freely, and he replied: “What I can tell you is that I have put Aguirre’s name, I have endorsed it with a report and here it is. I believe in what I see. It’s been six days, in the future, we’ll see. What I’ve talked to him is being fulfilled.”
In addition, the new sports director of Valencia did not want to talk about long-term goals given the situation of the team. “The goal is to try to compete already because we need it. We have a point at home and it’s difficult. Identification of the passion with the team is important. Marking long-term goals is very good, but now there are a few weeks to train and the coach knows the players before the match of Santander,” he said.

“Last year Athletic spoke of salvation when they were playing Champions.The goal now is to manage this, compete and score points.
Lastly, Braulio indicated that he decided to join Valencia because it was “now or never”: “I took a lot out. I’ve had opportunities from other teams and decided to stay in Pamplona for mutual love, but now I decided that it was up to me to come.”
“I can add, I can add, if it were for comfort, I stayed several years in Osasuna and had important affective relationships. It is Valencia. Coming to Valencia is something very important, I do not come for the new field, it is an important challenge for me. Having that connection makes it worse, but it gives me more illusion to try to get Valencia out of where it is,” he said.
