Athletic Club part ways with Gaizka Garitano

Athletic Club has relieved Gaizka Garitano and his coaching staff of their duties.

Gaizka took over the first team on December 5, 2018, after having previously been in charge of the reserves, Bilbao Athletic.

The Biscay-born coach oversaw 89 matches with the first team. Leading the lions to last season’s Copa final, which is yet to be played, stands out amongst his achievements in that time.

Athletic Club would like to thank Gaizka and his staff for the effort and dedication they have shown since taking over the first team when it was in a delicate sporting situation. They have always done their best for the Club.

The Club wishes them all the best in the future.
