Even if, at 38, his role is logically more and more reduced, at Real Madrid as well as in the selection, Rudy Fernandez remains a valuable executive in the club as with La Roja, which he will accompany to the 2023 World Cup.
The captain of Spain has also confided that he wanted to go to the Paris Olympics next year.
“I promised my father (deceased last year) that the Olympics would be my last tournament and I think it will be the same on a professional level, I hope to end my career there with the Spanish team” he said.
The triple Euroleague winner (2015, 2018, 2023), double world champion (2006, 2019) and four-time European champion (2009, 2011, 2015 and 2022) could therefore hang up his sneakers for good after the Olympics from Paris.
For the “best enemy” of the French team, who recalls that he still has “one year of contract” in Madrid, finishing with a medal at the 2024 Olympic Games would be a perfect jubilee.
“We could reach the Olympic tournament (Spain has yet to validate its qualification by reaching the final of the World Cup or by winning one of the Olympic qualifying tournaments) and that’s where I will end my career in the Spanish team. I have one year left at Real Madrid, it’s signed, it’s almost done but the Olympics would be my last tournament.he concluded.
