Ernesto Valverde, the head coach of Athletic Bilbao, is going through a very complicated period after the team's new defeat against Villarreal "0-1" in La Liga.

Consequently, the Basque team continues its series of setbacks, having gained only one point and scored just one goal in their last 4 matches in La Liga.

This comes after the team started the season well, giving the impression that they would at least be a nuisance to Real Madrid and Barcelona in the title race.

Although Valverde has been unlucky in some aspects, such as the injury suffered by star player Nico Williams, he bears a significant responsibility for what has happened to the team.

Following these results, Bilbao now has 10 points and is in eighth place in the standings, and if the situation does not improve soon, Valverde's position may be at risk.
