If anyone remembers, Andoni Iraola was the captain of that outstanding Athletic Bilbao side featuring Iker Muniain, Ander Herrera, Javi Martínez and Fernando Llorente under Marcelo Bielsa.
Much of Iraola's tactical identity was forged during his time playing under Bielsa. As captain, he was immersed in a style built on relentless intensity, aggressive pressing, positional discipline and proactive football.
It's no surprise that, as a manager, Iraola has become one of the game's leading advocates of high energy, front foot football. The foundations were laid long before he stepped into the dugout.
