Season summary edit

The previous season had been a turbulent one for Athletic, as head coach Iñaki Sáez was fired in February[2] and replacement Jesús Aranguren steered them clear of the La Liga relegation playoffs by just two points.[3] New ideas were required, and the club turned to Jupp Heynckes, out of work since being fired by Bayern Munich in his native Germany the previous October,[4] who became Athletic's new head coach in July 1992.[5]

Heynckes brought some much needed stability, and Bilbao were able to finish his first La Liga campaign in 8th place.[6] They were somewhat less successful in the Copa del Rey, where they entered at the 3rd round and were immediately eliminated by Segunda División B side Xerez.
