Valencia have fired coach Ronald Koeman, according to reports in the Spanish media.
The reports also claim that Valencia have parted company with Koeman's assistant coaches Toni Bruins Slot and Jose Mari Bakero, as well as sporting director Miguel Angel Ruiz and technical secretary Antonio Fernandez.
The apparent shake-up comes after the struggling Spanish giants this weekend slipped closer to the Primera Liga relegation zone following a 5-1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao.
That loss against Athletic was Valencia's fourth successive league defeat and left the team 15th in the standings and only two points above third-bottom Recreativo Huelva with five games remaining.
Those five matches are against Osasuna, Barcelona, Real Zaragoza, Levante and Atletico Madrid.
