Athletic Club Plans to Extend Manager Ernesto Valverde’s Contract

Introduction

The article discusses the recent success of Athletic Club under the management of Ernesto Valverde and the potential for his contract renewal at the end of the season.

A Successful Season

After a slightly underwhelming campaign last season, Athletic Club has seen significant improvement under Valverde’s leadership. The team is currently in fourth place in La Liga, demonstrating their ability to compete at the top of the table.

Defensive Strength

One of the key factors in Athletic Club’s success this season has been their solid defense. With only Las Palmas and Real Madrid boasting more solid defenses, Athletic has proven to be a formidable force on the field.

Contract Renewal

As Valverde’s contract with Athletic Club is set to expire at the end of the season, President Jose Urrutia is keen to secure his future with the club. While negotiations may take some time, both parties are positive about the prospect of a contract renewal.
