Athletic Bilbao will be looking for a new manager after not offering Marcelo Bielsa a contract extension.

Bilbao club president Josu Urrutia announced Friday that the Basque club would be parting ways with Bielsa after two seasons.

Urrutia did not name his replacement.

Bielsa, a former Argentina and Chile national team coach, led Bilbao to the finals of both the Europa League and Copa del Rey in 2011-12 but disappointed last season.
