Since 1898, the club decided that youth over experience was there main point of review and they made proved it by winning the Copa del Rey in 1902.

The next 80 years their main focus was on Copa del Rey, but by the Fernandez era (coach) in early 1990's, they aim for La Liga and UEFA Champions League.

Los Leones has a new coach for the 05-06 season. José Luis Mendilibar is in charge of training the Club’s First Division team, persuaded that he will be able to do a great job.

Joaquin Caparros takes the coaching reigns for 08-09 and faces a tough task civilizing the fortunes of the Basque side, which ended only one point away from downgrading last term.
