An interview has been carried out with the former boss of the rojiblancos, where he has talked about the way in which they manage the club
Aitor Elizegi He is the former president of Athletic Club, who has been succeeded by Jon Uriarte and recently spoke about the team’s philosophy. The 56-year-old businessman had an acceptable management, in which there were several positive elements and some additional changes that make us think about many things.
Let’s remember that Athletic’s philosophy does not allow signings to be made as the different clubs in the world do. This consists of playing exclusively with Basque players, born or trained in the Basque Country. On this, the former boss of the lions has referred and has proposed changes.
Aitor Elizegi proposes that some rules be changed in Athletic’s philosophy
In this way, it has been possible to confirm through an interview that Elizegi would like this rule to undergo some variations in the future. It is clear that this distinguishes them from other teams in the world, but some adjustments could be made. He has said all this based on what happened to him with Bibiane Schulze.
The German soccer player signed for Athletic despite having that nationality and she did so, since she is of Basque origin, so decisions had to be made regarding the philosophy of the lions. On that occasion, they ignored one of the rules and it is something that the former boss himself proposes in the future.
As happened with Bibiane Schulze, Elizegi proposes that it also happen with players from the men’s team
Elizegi has made his proposal for the change in Athletic’s philosophy clear in one sentence. “I would like it to be a tradition in the future that our children, wherever they are born, can play for Athletic”. Those were the words evoked by the former team president and on which many agree and many others do not.
We will have to wait then if this can change in the future. What is clear is that it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen anytime soon, as this is a hallmark of lions. throughout its history and for which they stand out. Of course, Elizegi takes the opportunity to leave the concept of him. He talks about evolution and modernization.
