The current Under 21 coach ends his contract with the RFEF
Louis of the Source is another of the coaches that appear in the future of the Athletic. The current Under 21 coach belonged to the legendary squad that won the league consecutively in 1983 and 1984, playing more than 200 games with the Athletic. He knows the house very well and has the level to do it very well.
Since joining the RFEF Luis de la Fuente has reaped many successes and has shaped many of the kids who today succeed under the command of Luis Enrique. Under 19 and Under 21 European Champion and silver medal in Tokyo are the strongest points in his record.
Luis de la Fuente ends his contract at the RFEF
Of course, beyond the Federation, De la Fuente has never trained in the First Division. He directed Bilbao Athletic in Segunda B, and later Deportivo Alavés, also in the bronze category. However, he has plenty of experience on the bench and knows the ins and outs of Athletic. He finishes contract in the RFEF.
It is one of the cards handled by one of the candidates for the presidency of Athletic. We are talking about Barkala, who a few months ago seemed the only candidate. Now he is still a very strong candidacy but with a lot of competition, so the pre-campaign movements have already started.
Barkala’s project
And it is that in recent days information related to the names of coaches and players has not stopped leaking. The most notorious perhaps has been the possible arrival of José Mourinho to the San Mamés bench. The candidate Jon Uriarte would be behind the Portuguese.
Barkala’s project would be with Zubizarreta as sports director and, if Marcelino GarcÃa Toral does not continue, Luis de la Fuente would be chosen for the bench. We will have to be very attentive to possible movements in the coming months. Getting to Ibaigane is very sweet.
