The Vitorian club has chosen the 61-year-old coach to replace Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet, who has been registered by the River Plate and who has led Sánchez Flores, EA Sports League, Getafe, Valencia, Atlético de Madrid, Espanyol and Sevilla.

The Argentinian began to lead the Basque team in December 2024, replacing Luis García Plaza. In the 2024-2025 season, with Coudet as coach, the Alavés achieved permanence on the penultimate day of the EA Sports League, and in 2025-2026 he has moved outside the descent posts.

"Each team has its own resources, we have different styles," said Athletic's coach, who referred to the King's Cup match that the red-white team will play against the Royal Society on Wednesday.

Rino Matarazzo's team bus will receive the encouragement of realists starting at 7:00 p.m. at the Anoeta Hotel.

The striker is completing his second season in Eibar; in 2021 he arrived in Ipurua ceded by Atlético de Madrid and returned to the armor team in the 2024-2025 season.

The rock of Seville has 73 partners and about half of them have no connection with the Basque Country. They know that qualifying for the final is difficult, but they do not lose faith. In the previous finals played in Seville they encouraged the streets with their charanga and even pulled a barge in the Guadalquivir.

Uriarte has completed a long and brilliant career at the highest level, Real Sociedad and Athletic. In addition to his work on the lawn, he has also been a reference in the locker room for younger colleagues.

The Royal Society and Athletic will play this Wednesday in Donostia the return game of the semi-finals of the King's Cup. Matarazzo appeared today at a press conference to explain how he sees the match.

Don't miss this Wednesday, March 4, the return game of the semi-finals of the King's Cup, which will be played by Real Sociedad and Athletic, on ETB1, kirolakeitb.eusand ETB ON. From 20:30 hours the program "Koparen Bila"will begin, then the match between the two teams will be offered and after the match will be discussed in the special program.

Errenteria's goalkeeper has not played with Valencia since he injured his muscles last January, but he has now suffered another physical percance and is likely not to play any more this season.

The Royal Society has organized a meeting point with live music and food trucks. In addition, fans of the Blue White team will form a great mosaic inside the stadium when the players of the Royal Society and Athletic go out to the field.

The renovation has also been signed by the technical secretary of professional football "Cata", José Antonio Prieto, with the Navarro club. Braulio arrived in Osasuna in 2017 and, since taking office, the red team promoted to First Division in 2019, has held the category six times, has played a King's Cup final and has also been in the Conference League. 

The Blue White defense has been "optimistic" in the run-up to the match against Athletic. "We played the whole game in San Mamés and we are confident," he said. "I'm very happy with my work, but I have a lot to improve," he added.

The red-white midfielder admits he took a "big scare" in Oviedo, but claims he has already recovered from his knee injury. Regarding the Copa derbi that will be played this Wednesday in Anoeta, the midfielder of Bermeo believes they have to leave "everything" on the field. "We have to go on the lawn with enthusiasm and intensity, looking for them from the first minute," he added.

The goals of Corpas, Marton and Adu Ares have given the armers victory over the Cadiz to continue looking up.

Osasuna's coach said at a press conference after the end of the match that this Sunday's match against Valencia in Mestalla was "perhaps" 0-0 rather than 1-0, but that "in football you have to score goals."

Despite the goals of Astiazaran and Ochieng, the expulsion of Mikel Rodriguez has conditioned the final minutes of the match in Zubieta.

The Royal Society player spoke of his victory against Mallorca (0-1) on the 26th day of the EA Sports League.
