He's already managed my favourite club in the Spanish league, in the shape of
Athletic Bilbao. (Choosing my words carefully so I don't call them a 'Spanish
club', in view of their Basque following).
I've never been there, but I've 'supported' them in Spanish football since
1982, when I read that during the World Cup of that year the England fans had
got on well with the Basques when all 3 first round group games were played in
Bilbao, but not with the Spaniards once England got through to the second round
mini-group. So it was doubly glorious to see Bielsa's Athletic side outclass
Man United in the 2012 Europa League, beating the red scum home and away.
