Three Premier League managers, one tiny Basque nursery.
Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola — now in charge of Arsenal, Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively — all came through the ranks at Antiguoko, a modest San Sebastián club that produced them within 15 miles and seven months of each other, according to Sky Sports.
Sky Sports travelled to the club to trace how three men from the same tight-knit corner of the Basque Country went on to become elite coaches in England's top flight. The report highlights just how remarkable it is that a single grassroots outfit could shape the footballing minds now steering three Premier League sides, describing the coincidence as something even those involved find hard to believe.
While full details of the visit and interviews remain part of Sky Sports' broader feature, the core revelation is striking: Antiguoko's unassuming setup helped forge the early development of Arteta, Alonso and Iraola before their careers diverged into some of Spain's biggest clubs and eventually management in England.
