SERIAL-WINNER Jose Luis Mendilibar hopes he will be heading home to Bilbao to Basque in a Euro hat-trick.
The Olympiakos boss led the Greek giants to their first ever continental title last season as they lifted the Conference League trophy.
That triumph came 12 months after the Spaniard had also guided Seville to Europa League glory.
Now he's aiming to notch up a third straight UEFA prize, with this term's Europa League Final taking place near his Basque County birthplace.
Mendilibar's former club Athletic Bilbao will stage the showpiece clash at their San Mames stadium in May and the 63-year-old admits he'd love to be there with the Athens outfit he took over last February.
