Athletic Bilbao sacks coach after winless streak


Bilbao (Spain), Dec 4 (IANS): Spanish La Liga side Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday sacked its head coach Eduardo Berizzo in the light of the club's woeful track record in the season so far.

The club said the manager, who was appointed to lead the first team in May, would be replaced by coach Gaizka Garitano, reports Efe news.

One of La Liga's founding members, the Basque club has never dropped into the second tier of Spanish football but at present finds itself in the relegation zone off the back of 13 matches without a win.

The news of the staffing change came after Levante routed Athletic Club 3-0 at home.
