Managing Bilbao in July?

Let’s be real: it’s less football, more emotional endurance test.

I’ve analyzed Bundesliga stats and Brazilian tactics — but nothing prepares you for July at Athletic Bilbao.

You’re handed a squad with zero flexibility. Basque-only policy? More like “no options allowed.”

We sold Yeray for €18M — nice move — but then spent €20M on David García… who’s basically a reliable bus driver for the midfield.

Our full-backs? 32 and 34. They last 60 minutes before collapsing like overcooked spaghetti.

And our only hope? Imanol. He’s got potential — if he survives pressure without crying.

This isn’t just tough management — it’s structural self-sabotage with tradition as the excuse.

So yeah… rebuilding in July? More like surviving until September.

You guys ever tried managing on ideology alone? Comment below — let’s debate this tactical purgatory! 🧠⚽
