An analysis of the numbers Athletic has reaped in the League championship at their home over the past decade has determined that the best seasons in terms of victories have taken place with Valverde on the bench. The Lions have made 13 wins in front of their fans across the associated 19 home games on several occasions.
The first, respectively, took place during the 2013-14 campaign, the inauguration of the new San Mamés. The rojiblancos reaped a total of 43 points as a result of 13 wins, four draws and two losses. That campaign saw them finish fourth in the standings with 70 points in their locker and the possibility to play for entry into the Champions League group stage if they succeed in the previous tie, something they achieved against Napoli.

The same numbers, as far as local league promises are concerned, were also repeated for Valverde in the 2016-17 season, his farewell from Athletic. The Lions tallied a total of 43 points with another 13 wins, four draws and two losing games. That year, surprisingly, the rojiblancos signed one fewer home goals than in the 2013-14 League (36 against 37) and received the same (18).
The Bilbao team, also with Txingurri as coach, broke the barrier of ten campaign wins in 2015-16 (11). Marcelino, for his part, has achieved a total of 10 wins in this League. Caparrós, in his final year, reached 12.
