Iconic coach of Athletic Bilbao, Ernesto Valverde will leave his post at the end of the season. Returning to the Basque Country in 2022 after his time at FC Barcelona, the 62-year-old Spanish technician announced his departure on his club’s official networks.
“Hello everyone. I would like to announce to you today that I will not be the coach of Athletic next season. This is a carefully considered decision, one that I have been working on for some time now, which I have discussed with the club and which I wanted to share with you. I would also like to point out that we still have ten important league matches to play, starting with this Sunday against Betis. Ten games in which we want to achieve our goals, where we have a lot to gain, where we will give everything and where, without a doubt, if we are all united we can achieve it.he declared.
