#4 Cesare Prandelli is the right man for Valencia
After opening their season with four defeats, Pako Ayestaran was sacked as the manager of Valencia. He was replaced by former Italian national coach Cesare Prandelli. Prandelli was stepping back into managing a team for the first time since his stint with Turkish giants Galatasaray.
After taking over at Valencia, the club has won three of their five games, the two losses coming at the hands of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona – two of the biggest and strongest clubs in Spain.
In today’s game, Valencia looked fresh and their style of play was a great mix of sturdy defence and fast counter-attacking football. Valencia proved that teams don't have to sit back and soak in the pressure to trouble Barcelona. Prandelli can certainly lead them to the top half of the table soon.
