Bilbao Athletic seem headed for relegation. The bet that Athletic’s new managers made with its subsidiary turned out to be a big one. From Lezama they chose to dismiss Bingen Arostegi at the end of matchday 12 to put Álex Pallarés on the bench. Far from improving, the rojiblanco second team has deteriorated since then.
The important thing, of course, is that the Athletic branch continues to serve as a springboard for the first team. The fact of going down a step does not mean that the chain will break, but it does mean that the jump to be made must be from below. Previously, the idea was to have Bilbao Athletic in the so-called LaLiga SmartBank, not to resign from the Second RFEF.
Poli, Izaguirre, García de Andoin, Beitia, Garay, Koldo Agirre, Iñaki Sáez, Aranguren, Clemente, Iribar, Txetxu Rojo, Fidel Uriarte, Ziarreta, Sarabia, Amorortu, Terrazas, Mendilibar, Murua, Valverde, Sarriugarte, De la Furo Lineman , Ziganda, Gaizka Garitano, Solabarrieta, Joseba Etxeberria, De la Sota, Patxi Salinas, Bingen Arostegi and Álex Pallarés. These are the 30 coaches who have been on the Bilbao Athletic bench since it was founded as an Athletic subsidiary. Let everyone draw their own conclusions.
