3) Pako Ayesteran may be a shrewd appointment
Trending
This isn’t Pako Ayesteran’s first coming at Valencia. He has in fact contributed to the richest part of Valencia’s history of late. Assistant manager to Rafa Benitez at Valencia for over 11 years, before leaving with Benitez for Liverpool.
He then came back later as a fitness coach and left thereafter to take up a job as assistant to Quique Sanchez Flores in Dubai. He would then go to Maccabi Tel Aviv where he led the side to their first treble in their history eventually coming back to Valencia as an assistant during the ill-fated tenure of Gary Neville.
Now he stands here with Los Che as the manager, at least for the remainder of the season. Since his appointment, Pako has led Valencia to two back to back victories and the stage is set for Los Che to perhaps end the season with a dignified set of results.
Pako Ayesteran could be a shrewd appointment as the permanent manager. He knows how to win and he does indeed know the club inside out. If backed with the right money in the market, as Peter Lim has promised the club and the right amount of time, Pako may deliver due results at the Mestalla.
