Athletic Club President, Fernando Lamikiz, today resigned his post, after a poor start to the season and fans protesting after the 4-1 home defeat to Atletico Madrid two weeks ago.
Lamikiz will be replaced by Ana Urkijo, who will become the first female president of the club.
At the end of the 2003/04 season, when Athletic finished fifth in La Liga, Lamikiz won the election for the top job, but has increasingly become an unpopular figure with supporters. For many, the last straw was the sacking of Javier Clemente last season, when Athletic saved themselves from relegation with only two games to go.
