On 5 December 2018, current Athletic’s manager took his first training session as red-and-white boss

Today, December 5, Gaizka Garitano marks his first anniversary as the manager of Athletic Club’s first team and his results are worth to be noted. The head coach from Derio, who came from managing the red-and-white reserve team, has been able to give the side a distinguishable identity based on a solid defense and team spirit among the members of the squad.

Gaizka Garitano’s numbers as the head coach of the first team speak for themselves. Out of the 117 possible points to be obtained in LaLiga Santander since he took charge of the team, he has added 68, with 19 wins, 11 draws and 9 defeats. As for scoring statistics, the side has scored 44 goals under his management.

In addition, Garitano has provided the red-and-white squad with unquestionable confidence, which can be observed in the 31 total goals conceded, being the team that has conceded the fewest goals during the 2019-20 season in LaLiga Santander, only 9.

The numbers can be completed with their participation in the Cup last year, with 2 victories and 1 defeat, a total of 6 goals scored and 4 conceded.
