Iñaki Williams' high praise for incoming Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde
Williams was one of the players Valverde brought into the team at Athletic
He has no doubts over The Ant's capability to succeed
Iñaki Williams, Athletic Bilbao striker, spoke about Ernesto Valverde and said "he deserves everything good that happens". Williams is one of the fan favourites at Bilbao and was sad the coach is leaving. "It's a pity he's leaving us but the team he leaves is more than capable. He's broken records with us, he's very calm and very normal. He brings calm in all the bad moments and whoever gets him will have a great coach."
The Athletic player revealed the goodbye message the squad received from Valverde. "He told us that it was really hard to go becuase we've always given him everything and been here when he needed us. He deserves everything and I hope that tomorrow he remembers us for what we did together," he explained.
"In my case he believed in me a lot, he helped me mature on the pitch and I give thanks for what he did when he was here."
Inaki was speaking after winning the 'Apuesta del año' prize after a fine season with Bilbao.
