Ernesto Valverde is undoubtedly one of the current Spanish coaches. His long coaching career may be at its peak in this third personal stint at the helm of Atlético, following a historic Copa del Rey victory last season (Atlético had not achieved this in 40 years) and the team currently sitting in fourth place in La Liga and second in the Europa League, a competition that has generated much excitement among Biscayan fans as this year’s San Mamés Stadium hosted a huge The final. Unsurprisingly, then, Athletic are one of the main favorites to win the title, at least if you look at Betfair’s football predictions, which place them as the third best contenders behind only Tottenham and Manchester United ( both: 18.18%).
