Is it without a team?
Yes. Now you have to know how to wait, keep learning, seeing options. I love this profession, but it's not like that of a footballer. From a player you go from one place to another and there is no waiting time. Coach is different. What you do is see a lot of football. I was with Mendilibar in Greece before going to Huelva, I have been with Jagoba when I was in Osasuna, with Valverde, with Marcelino, with Joseba Etxeberria, with Gaizka Garitano … trying to learn and continue preparing me because you don't know when they will call you.
Then call his friend Asier Goiria, sports director now of Murcia, as a few years ago when he was in Amorebieta.
When I was at the Aretxabaleta (the anecdote recalls) I said put me, put me and signed for Amorebieta and that project lasted almost four years. I met him again in Murcia when I went with the recre. They have made a very good year, but in the end he has killed the game at home.
His stage in Amorebieta, however, did not end well!
They called me a long time ago to take part in a documentary about their centenary and I told them of course. It did not end well, everyone has its version, but how I will have a bad memory of Amore. The three years we spent, ascend for the first time to second … delighted to be part of the Amorebieta story.
Now he has returned to Second RFEF, his natural site may.
In football the budget is the host. The normal thing is that those who have a lot of budget are above. Then there are cases such as Amorebieta, which has risen twice. Today in the first RFEF the differences are abysmal.
Has Athletic touched him during his stage as a coach?
No, I have not had the opportunity to train in Lezama. I love my profession, I hit some motivated crazy. I go to any team with the illusion and the players make them feel that same illusion, but it is not so easy because you take sticks. There is no patience in the world of football and if you win the next door, you have lost.
How did it happen in Huelva?
I left alone and there with the staff we were all for the same work: that the recre win. When you do not earn and you are dedicated one hundred percent to it, you get home, you close the doors and you are left alone … They are not easy situations; But that happens to me in Ponferrada, Lugo or Recre and Mendilibar in Athens
Do you have anything in perspective?
Now waiting and wishing that a project arrives. Ideally, start it, but it is not in our hands.
What do you think of everything that is happening around Nico Williams?
When I can, I follow Athletic. For Guru, whom I had in Amorebieta, and Maroan, who I had in the cadets of the Aurrera the first time I trained football. I don't know how it is, but it is clear that he is a player. In the end it is about the usual: it is your decision and you have to respect it.
Did you make a first player to Guruzeta?
That is what I tell him already Maroan (laughing). With Guru the truth that I made very good friendship in Amorebieta, but I also had him on the bench. It was seen that I had qualities and tried to help you as much as possible. Maroan was also left on the bench on the cadet because it was a crazy head. Guru has managed to understand his role with Sancet, the Williams and Berenguer from behind and brings a lot. I'm glad for him.

Maroan is criticized for his lack of success for goal.
Guru is more to relate because he understands football very well and helps a lot to that back of his and Maroan is used to generating his own occasions. He is very good to finish, but he has spent in a short time from Barakaldo to Athletic and Lasesarre to the Olympic of Rome. Valverde has the two profiles of the striker.
Can the definition for goal be improved?
It is always improved. Aduriz from the age of 30 was more goals and I started improving in a thousand things at the time of the auction.
