Valencia have confirmed the appointment of Ernesto Valverde as their new coach on a deal until the end of the season. Valverde succeeds Mauricio Pellegrino, who was sacked just hours after the club\'s 5-2 defeat at home to Real Sociedad on Saturday. Valverde, 48, has previously coached Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol and Villarreal in Spain, as well as two spells with Greek club Olympiacos. From : Fifa
