Valencia has appointed former Italy boss Cesare Prandelli as its new head coach on a deal that runs until June 2018.
The appointment of the 59-year-old — who has been without a club since he was sacked by Galatasaray in November 2014 — was confirmed in a statement on Saturday.
Prandelli will take a watching brief as Los Che host Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Sunday before formally taking charge and meeting the media on Monday.
The Italian is the club's eighth head coach in a little over four years as Valencia has struggled to recapture the consistency it enjoyed in the previous four seasons under Unai Emery, which yielded three successive third-place finishes.
