Of the movement on the international scene, since Sportsnet indicate that Jordi Fernandez left his post as coach of Canada.
At 42, the current Net coach is therefore fully focused on his duties in the NBA and he leaves the country to the maple leaf in 5th place in the last FIBA ranking. Appointed to replace Nick Nurse in the middle of summer 2023, the Spanish coach will have managed to guide “Team Canada” and his new golden generation to his first medal (bronze) in international competition since … 1936. It was during the Cup of the 2023.
Jordi Fernandez will not have managed to do better during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, since the Canadians fell against France from the quarter -finals.
However, they were the favorites of this part, after having quietly managed the “group of death” in pools. Nevertheless, it was still the first appearance of the country to the Olympic Games since … 2000. At the time, it was already France that had crossed the road to Steve Nash and its teammates.
In case of qualification, the band of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will therefore appear at the 2027 World Cup then at the 2028 Olympic Games with a new coach, whose identity is still unknown.
