The team experiences a managerial change, as Igor González de Galdeano left the post at the end of 2011 season,[1] and was replaced by the man named, Miguel Madariaga.[2] Madariaga has stated that he was taking the position only for 2012 and will leave before 2013, perhaps not coincidentally when the Basque government will remove or at least greatly reduce their financial commitment to the team.[3]
