Berizzo agrees to take charge of Athletic Club LaLiga One-year deal for coach

Athletic Club hope to announce the signing of Eduardo Berizzo as coach for next season in the coming days.

It has been a tough campaign for both club and the Argentine, Jose Ziganda failing to inspire the Bilbao team while Berizzo was sacked by Sevilla shortly after his treatment for prostate cancer.

And Radio MARCA report the two are soon to unite on a one-year deal for the 48-year-old, whose salary will amount to 1.5 million euros with an extra campaign stipulated if he qualifies for European competition.

It is understood that Berizzo's lawyer travelled to the Basque Country on Friday and will finalise the details of the agreement over the weekend, after which Athletic will confirm the appointment with an official announcement.
