Valverde, the only player remaining at Athletic
Ernesto Valverde is the first Logiblancos team manager to start the John Uriarte era at Athletic and the only one to continue in the same position next season. The Bilbao club yesterday officially announced the addition of Iraia Ituregui to the Athletic women’s bench and also confirmed the ‘promotion’ of Vitor Lopis to Basconia. Baskonia announced that the campaign was headed by Carlos Grupesi, who was appointed as Bilbao Athletic’s new manager this week.
Looking at what we’ve seen so far, Logiblanco Club’s new coaches aren’t happy with the work their first manager has done throughout the season. The news that Eliah will not continue on the women’s first team bench, given that there has never been a woman on the technical staff of the men’s team before, is something the club wants to ‘disguise’ as historic. , is a surprise for both the owner and the stranger.
It remains to be seen who the sporting director of the working group led by Uriarte has in mind, but we do not rule out the possibility that a foreign coach will arrive in Rezama to coach the lioness. What is clear is that so far the women’s first team coach has had the kind of support Mikel González, the Athletic’s director of football, showed to Valverde at his press conference last Tuesday with coach Sergio Navarro. It means that they are not. of Rezama.
“Ernesto is our top team leader and coach and we believe in him to death. You can see him stronger than ever, more athletically integrated than ever, and there’s still one day left in the league. I’m seeing better than ever,” González said before the media gathered at the Logiblancas facility.
Yesterday, despite Iraia Ituregui’s accomplishments as a player, coach and physical trainer, among other aspects, the club prioritized the appointment of the new Basconia coach to replace the Athletic women’s bench. In fact, the official website titled ‘Ilaia Ituregui joins CD Basconia’s coaching staff’ was the news of the continuation of Roytala in front of the lionesses.
“It’s time to step down. Now that I have informed Athletic of this decision, they have informed me of my desire to continue coaching Rezama (in this case, with a male composition) and have informed Basconia’s technical staff. He offered to join me.It is a challenge that inspires me a lot.I believe in this project and the efforts being developed at Rezama and will do everything in my power to help the athletes in their training. The comments are summarized in the video below, along with some statements by Elias himself.
3 out of 3 so far
The relief squad for the Athletic women’s first team bench will also include players linked to those of Bilbao Athletics, which were announced earlier in the week. The club had already announced last week that the term of sub-coach at Lezama would end at the end of the league finale against Amorebieta, following the split of manager Alex Parales at Elda. Indeed, the Catalan coach led the puppies in the derby that helped promote the Blues to La Liga Smartbank, but did not practice like that after that.
Athletic’s athletic director backed Grupesi’s move to a subsidiary on Monday in a statement published on the Bilbao club’s own website. Carlos has been working at Rezama for several years in different fields, first with personal work with the players and then as a coach. “
“He knows the team perfectly, the athletics, the relationship with the first-team coach is great,” added González of the Andocilla man. He was the home coach who most closely resembled Ernesto Valverde’s game, and that played a key role in the decision.”

According to reports in the Italian media, the Ferrari team has made a decision about race engineer Lewis Hamilton for the 2026 season.
Riccardo Adami has been working with the seven-time world champion since the Briton moved to the Scuderia in January 2025. But there were a few strange and resonant radio conversations between them throughout the season.
During the Australian Grand Prix, Hamilton appeared confused by the lack of information from his engineer, and at the Miami round he reacted strongly to the situation, issuing team orders and advising the team to “drink some tea” after Charles Leclerc refused to let him pass.
At the Monaco Grand Prix, Riccardo Adami asked Hamilton: “Are you mad at me?” There was another incident where he ignored her request. Ferrari later announced that the engineer had left the pit wall at that time.
A similar situation was repeated after the last race of the season. During the radio exchange, Hamilton thanked the team and the race engineer for their cooperation, but received no response. The Briton then asked if they had heard him and received an explanation that the team were talking to each other at the time.
At the end of the season, team principal Fred Vasser said the Scuderia would review Hamilton’s inner circle to improve their results. And it looks like the decision has already been made.
According to Italian publication Auto Racer, Ferrari has decided to retain Riccardo Adami as Hamilton’s race engineer for 2026. The most important reason for this was a “very positive” private dinner between the pilot and the engineer.
The team expects to take a serious step forward in 2026 in light of new technical regulations. Next season could be decisive for Hamilton because 2026 is considered the last year of his current contract with Ferrari.
His first season in the Scuderia was a difficult one for the Briton. Hamilton finished the championship in sixth place using the problematic SF-25 car, but lost 86 points to his teammate.
Hamilton went a season without a podium for the first time in his career, while Leclerc scored seven goals. Of particular concern was the seven-time champion’s deteriorating qualifying form later in the year.

Mercedes Formula 1 team president Toto Wolff believes that driver George Russell is ready to become a champion, but young Andrea Kimi Antonelli still needs time.
“Nobody knows how much power the Mercedes engine will have in 2026. We don’t know what the other teams’ engines will be like either. Is Russell ready to take the championship if given the right car? 100%, absolutely ready. There is nothing to add here. He is ready to be champion.”
“Antonelli is only 19 years old. What kind of peak are we talking about? He can be at the peak after 3-5 seasons. I believe we should give him this time to gain experience.”
“It’s moving in the right direction,” Wolff said.
F1 will have new technical regulations on engines and aerodynamics from the 2026 season.

Haas driver and Ferrari development program graduate Olliver Berman said his goal is to race in the Scuderia in the future and win victories with the red car.
The Briton was already racing for Ferrari at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix when he replaced Carlos Sainz due to appendicitis. He has since made significant progress at Haas and will remain with the team at the start of the new season.
Berman congratulated Isak Hajar on his promotion to Red Bull and said:
“Yes, of course I’m a little jealous that he will be fighting for high results in a team like Red Bull. But I’m sure my time will come, too, and I’m very happy for that. We’ve been racing since Formula 3 and he has shown incredible talent and speed. It’s great that the new generation of drivers are being recognized and now both Kimi and Isak are in the top teams. That’s great. All you have to do is wait for your chance and it will definitely come.”
Berman said about his dream of competing for the Scuderia:
“This is definitely my dream. It motivates me to do my best and I get up every morning to do my best in everything I do. I want to perform in the red. I want to win in the red. That’s my life goal. I’ve been lucky enough to feel it once already and I know what it feels like, so I try to get back to that regularly.”
