With two consecutive Champions League finals, of the Leagues, the UEFA and European Super Cup, those early years of the new century, reference were many young people who had not lived other convulsive stages in the Mestalla club.

The first decade of the century tube stability. Cuper started the century although was a year in the club. Benitez spent three seasons (2001-2004) where he won two league titles, the UEFA and European Super Cup. Ranieri turned in 2005 and was just a few months until he was replaced by Antonio Lopez. Quique Sanchez was from 2005 until the early 2007-08 until it was stopped. That year there were three coaches: Quique, the infamous memory, Although Koeman won the last title of the club and Voro, so began his legend who led the end of the season and avoided a scare in the form of descent.

From 2009 a 2012 there was stability Emery, that despite the constant critical Mestalla, third he classified several times a team only behind Madrid and Barcelona. And from 2012 He came traca. Since then only one season with just one coach, the 2014/15 where Nuno put the team last in Champions. In the 2012/13 there were two coaches (Pellegrino and Valverde) and one interim (as always Voro). In the 2013/14 two others (Djukic and Pizzi) and another interim (Nico Was).

The 2014/15 It was quieter with Nuno at the controls and equipment for the top of the table. The 2015-16 they returned to their old ways. Nuno was struck by a bad start and the remedy was worse than the disease. They brought a commentator who had not trained anyone (Gary Neville) and almost led the team to relegation. He finished the season third coach, Paco Ayestaran who despite signing a discrete numbers, finished renovating. Of course, Voro also made interim few games.

The 2016/17 it was more of the same. Ayestarán signed 4 defeats in 4 games and was fired. Voro saved the situation and added 6 Points of 9 until the arrival of Cesare Prandelli. The Italian did not add many points and given the owners' refusal to bring him signings in the winter market, he decided to resign.

Marcelino and Mateu Alemany, dismissed despite creating a Valencia champion and Champions

The arrival of Mateu Alemany and Marcelino García Toral seemed that they were going to bring that calm that finally needed an entity that seemed to be permanently in Fallas. Between the Balearic and the Asturian coach and his coaching staff, managed to create a champion and assiduous team to qualify for Europe. However, at the whim of the club owner, Peter Lim decided to fire the coach and forced the departure of the CEO to end up plunging Valencia back into the umpteenth institutional chaos, social and sports that ended with the dismissal of Celades. A year later, Javi Gracia was fired, coach number 19 and with Were, again acting as Lord Wolf to save Valencia and further exacerbating that fame of shredding machine trainers.
