Gaizka Garitano has seen his Athletic Bilbao contract extended by 12 months after guiding the club to reach Copa del Rey final.
Garitano – previously Athletic’s reserve coach – was appointed until the end of 2018/2019 season when Eduardo Berizzo was dismissed with the team languishing at relegation zone.
Garitano took the team up the table and he earned the opportunity to continue managing the team in 2019/2020 season.
Garitano has enjoyed an impressive season seeing him earn a 12-month contract extension. Garitano’s side reached a mouth-watering Copa del Rey final against rivals Real Sociedad.
Garitano said: ‘’I am very happy for the confidence shown in me by the club.
‘’This is the team that I have followed since childhood, from my heart. Running it is a joy and a responsibility.
‘’The experience lived this year in the Copa is magnificent and we have the opportunity to win a title. You have to stick with the positive things and try to improve.’’
