Liga Endesa: Mubrou planned departure from Bilbao after 13 years

After 13 years in Bilbao, either as a player or as a coach, Alex Mubrou said goodbye to the team with which he shared great moments. The club’s people organized a press conference to close this big circle, with the 42-year-old Catalan coach, who couldn’t hold back his tears, bursting into tears.

“First of all, I would like to give strength and support to my colleague Pablo Lasso, who is going through a difficult time. He knows we are with him and that he will win this game.

Some of you know it, some of you have read it. I have been in a relationship with Bilbao for 13 years. With the team, the city. Many years ago I came to a club that gave me everything as a player and as a coach. They made me feel like family, that’s how I feel. But like everything in life has a beginning, it also has an end. The moment I saw my jersey in the stadium sky, I knew it was time to go. I discussed it with my son in the car and I thank him for keeping it a secret. There are people who can’t stand it for 12 hours and say so.

That was my last year on the team. It was a decision made after much thought. I had it in mind for a long time. It was difficult, but a good friend of mine told me he had a little devil telling me what to do. In all the difficult moments I stayed with the team but now the club is in Europe and I think it’s the best time to leave.were some of Mumbros’ words.

Mubrou played for Bilbao from 2009 to 2018, from 2018 he took over as coach.
