Ernesto Valverde is ready to pen new terms with Athletic Bilbao.
The Bilbao coach is close to signing a new, one-year contract extension.
Club president Josu Urrutia hinted that the renewal could be announced, at the very latest, before the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on 30 May although it appears that the new contract could be completed well before then.
AS reports Valverde could ink terms in the coming days.
