Football: Coach Valverde Signs One-year Extension At Athletic Bilbao
Coach Ernesto Valverde: Athletic Bilbao on Friday announced that coach Ernesto Valverde has agreed on a one-year contract extension until June 2026. The news means the former player will complete a decade in the dugout at the San Mames Stadium over three spells in charge.
Valverde has agreed to his new contract after leading Athletic to the Champions League after a fourth-place finish in La Liga this season, as well as reaching the semifinal of the Europa League. Last season, he took the club to fifth place and ended a 40-year wait to win the Copa del Rey.
The 61-year-old Valverde, who has also coached FC Barcelona, Espanyol, Valencia, Villarreal, and Greek outfit Olympiacos, returned to Athletic for his third spell in charge in 2022 and has always maintained that he prefers to review his contract on a year-by-year basis.
