An empty chair waiting for Vicen

Many players, different coaches and members of their respective coaching staff, managers, club workers and more players … In the last decade and a half, countless faces and names have passed through Uni Girona. And among all these people it would be very difficult to find one, one alone, who did not speak well of Vicenç Bordas. The historic delegate of the first team of Girona is on leave, and admitted, due to a serious health problem since last February. But at Spar Girona they are reluctant to appoint a replacement. The staff and coaching staff for next season are already complete, but there will be no delegate. Vicenç Bordas’ chair will remain empty. Waiting for him.

“We love you Vicenç”, wrote Èric Surís yesterday on social media after the Fontajau club announced that it would not replace the delegate, but beyond the good relationship of Vicenç Bordas with Surís, with Roberto Íñiguez, with Miguel Àngel Ortega or Anna Caula, a sample of her mark in the state women’s basketball is in the informative tweet of the Spar Girona. « All the Endesa Women’s League pavilions await you. Vicenç, a gentleman loved by all“, They wrote from the official Twitter account of Perfumerías Avenida. A quick response from Uni’s main rival in recent years which, beyond the anecdote, serves as an example of the details, the kind words or the empathy with which Vicenç Bordas has moved along the tracks for more than two decades.

Twenty years, because “the person who cares most about the players” has been part of the Uni since before the Girona club existed. Linked to the Marist basketball teams, where Pere Puig and Anna Caula trained, Vicenç Bordas was the thin cadet of the Santa Eugènia who participated in a Spanish Championship with the still sports director and now deputy in the bench. That cadet was one of the embryos of Uni Girona and at that birth there was Vicenç Bordas. He was the delegate of the team that, with Caula on the bench, would get the promotion to Women’s League 1 in 2009 and has continued there. Helping the coaching staff and taking care of the players always with good words for rivals and with details for fans or journalists. Last February, a couple of days before a Euroleague match against Scchio in Fontajau, Vicenç Bordas suffered a serious health problem that has kept him hospitalized for almost half a year. An indefinite leave that has severed his daily relationship with the team. Uni already went to the Salamanca Cup without their delegate and are now preparing to start the next season without him. The technical body of the Spar Girona is already defined, but there will be no delegate and among the rest, with the help of other workers and managers of the club, their tasks will be distributed.

In his fifth season, at the head of the team, Èric Surís will continue to have David Muñoz as second coach and in charge of the scouting of rivals; while the main novelty will be the arrival of the Galician Álex De la Vega as a physical trainer. De la Vega has experience at Ferrol and Perfumerías Avenida, working with Lino López, and takes over from Andreu Comas. Another classic name of the club, Betti Orden, will continue to be the physiotherapist, now with the help of Redouan Hamido on the trips.

Finally, Sílvia Trevino and Carla Jou repeat for the second year in a row as a doctor and team manager of the first team.
