Valverde has made a total of 71 appearances as a coach in the Europa League (UEL), 36 of them on the Athletic bench. The balance of the red and white coach at his current club is 18 wins (half of the games won), 7 draws, 11 losses, 64 goals for and 47 matches.
It happened that the coach from Gasteiz did not only direct the lions in this competition. Espanyol, Villarreal and Olimpiacos also appear on his resume as a bench man. In the parakeet club he even played in a final. The final was played against Sevilla at Hampdem Park, Glasgow, on 16 May 2007 and the Sevilla team won in a penalty shootout.
His overall record with Espanyol in the then UEFA and now Europa League is 15 games with 11 wins, 4 draws, 0 losses (in real time without counting penalties), 34 goals for and 11 matches.
With Villarreal, a club where he did not finish the 2009-2010 season, he directed eight games resulting in 5 wins, 3 losses, 17 goals scored and 8 conceded.
At the head of Olimpiacos he sat on the bench of the Greek team in 12 games in the Europa League, won 7, lost 5, with 22 goals for and 10 matches.
