Bilbao "Athletic" finally made a long-awaited decision - they relieved Eduardo Berizzo from the position of head coach.
The 49-year-old strategist started to lead the Basque team from this season, but with him "Athletic" showed very poor results. The club's management patience finally ran out when they suffered a 0:3 defeat to "Levante" on Monday.
Basques have only won one game in "La Liga" this season. With five losses and eight draws, "Athletic" players are currently in the relegation zone - in 18th place.
E. Berizzo worked at "Sevilla" club last season, but he was also fired at the end of November.
From now on, the 43-year-old Gaizka Garitano will take over as the coach of the Basque team.
Athletic Club has decided to terminate the contract that united its coach Eduardo Berizzo with the entity.
