Season summary Athletic Bilbao began their centenary season with a new head coach following the departure of Frenchman Luis Fernández. Fernández had been in charge for four years, becoming Athletic's most successful coach for a generation by leading them to the runners-up spot in La Liga in 1997–98.LaLiga 1997/1998 Table, Results, Fixtures - (Football/Spain) https://www.flashscore.co.uk/football/spain/laliga-1997-1998/standings/ flashscore.co.uk 21 November 2020 To replace him, Bilbao legend Txetxu Rojo was tempted away from Real Zaragoza, who he had just guided to an exceptional 5th place in the league, six places higher than his new club.LaLiga 1999/2000 Table, Results, Fixtures - (Football/Spain) https://www.flashscore.co.uk/football/spain/laliga-1999-2000/standings/ flashscore.co.uk 21 November 2020 This would be Rojo's second spell at San Mamés, having previously led the team briefly during the 1989–90 season. Rojo could not replicate his La Liga success with Athletic, as they slipped yet further to 12th place, their worst performance for five years.LaLiga 2000/2001 Table, Results, Fixtures - (Football/Spain) https://www.flashscore.co.uk/football/spain/laliga-2000-2001/standings/ flashscore.co.uk 21 November 2020 They fared little better in the Copa del Rey, being eliminated at the last 16 stage by Racing Santander. Rojo departed at the end of the season, returning to Zaragoza, and was replaced by another returning former coach, German Jupp Heynckes, who had most recently been manager of Benfica in Portugal.Jupp Heynckes http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/vereine/1-bundesliga/2013-14/2438/trainer_jupp-heynckes.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130704035133/http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/vereine/1-bundesliga/2013-14/2438/trainer_jupp-heynckes.html dead July 4, 2013 kicker 16 January 2014 Germanhttps://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/933884.stm Mourinho replaces Heynckes at Benfica 20 September 2000 1 June 2013 BBC Squad statistics Appearances and goals Squad of Athletic Bilbao 2000-01 First Division https://www.bdfutbol.com/en/t/t2000-016.html bdfutbol.com 10 December 2024Athletic Bilbao » Squad 2000/2001 https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/athletic-bilbao/2001/2/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160403115040/http://www.worldfootball.net/teams/athletic-bilbao/2001/2/ dead April 3, 2016 worldfootball.net 21 November 2020Athletic Bilbao » Appearances Copa del Rey 2000/2001 https://www.worldfootball.net/team_performance/athletic-bilbao/esp-copa-del-rey-2000-2001/ worldfootball.net 21 November 2020November 2025 medicmedic La Liga Copa del Rey 1 Iñaki Lafuente GK ESP 36 0 0 0 2 Iñigo Larrainzar DF ESP 24+1 1 3 0 3 Óscar Vales MF ESP 30+1 0 4 0 4 Rafael Alkorta DF ESP 17 0 0 0 5 Felipe Guréndez MF ESP 20+11 1 2+2 0 6 Josu Urrutia MF ESP 20+1 1 2 0 7 Andoni Imaz MF ESP 0+2 0 0+1 0 8 Julen Guerrero MF ESP 25+2 4 2 0 9 Santi Ezquerro FW ESP 14+5 3 0 0 10 Aitor Larrazábal DF ESP 25 4 3 0 11 Jesús María Lacruz DF ESP 30+1 1 2 0 12 Carlos García DF ESP 7 0 0 0 13 Imanol Etxeberria GK ESP 0 0 0 0 14 Roberto Ríos DF ESP 15+2 1 3 0 15 Carlos Merino MF ESP 0+7 0 0 0 16 Francisco Yeste MF ESP 13+21 6 3+1 1 17 Joseba Etxeberria FW ESP 26+2 5 3 0 18 Bittor Alkiza MF ESP 18+4 1 3+1 0 19 Mikel Lasa DF ESP 4+1 0 0+1 0 20 Ismael Urzaiz FW ESP 34 10 4 3 22 Javi González MF ESP 15+11 3 2+1 0 23 Tiko MF ESP 9+13 2 1+2 0 24 Pablo Orbaiz MF ESP 23+4 0 2+2 0 25 Dani Aranzubia GK ESP 2 0 4 0 27 Asier del Horno DF ESP 11+3 0 1 0 35 David Asensio FW ESP 0+2 0 0 0 37 David Cuéllar MF ESP 0+8 0 0+1 0 38 Unai Expósito MF ESP 0 0 0 0 |} Results La Liga 2000–01 La Liga League table ATH See also 2000–01 La Liga 2000–01 Copa del Rey External links http://www.athletic-club.net/ en eu es References Athletic Bilbao Category:Athletic Bilbao seasons Category:2000 in the Basque Country (autonomous community) Category:2001 in the Basque Country (autonomous community)
