Ziganda replaces Valverde at Athletic Bilbao

AFP

AFP, MADRID: Jose Angel Ziganda will take charge of Athletic Bilbao next season after being promoted from his role in charge of the club's youth team.
He replaces Ernesto Valverde, who quit the Basque side after four seasons in charge on Tuesday and looks set to take the vacant coach's role at Barcelona.
A former Spanish international, Ziganda played for Athletic between 1991 and 1998.
“I am very happy and thankful for the chance the club has taken on me,” he told the club's website.
“For someone so identified with the club, it is the best news I could have had this week.”
Ziganda's only previous managerial experience in the top flight came at another of his former clubs Osasuna between 2006 and 2008 before an unsuccessful brief spell at Xerex.
However, he has coached Bilbao Athletic, the club's B team, over the past six seasons and led them to promotion to the second tier in the 2014/15 campaign.
During that time a steady stream of young players graduated from Ziganda's side to the first team, including Spanish international Inaki Williams.
