The departure is due to the overlapping of commitments of the Parchmentian coach after the postponement of the Federal Tournament due to the pandemic.
On the afternoon of this Monday, it was made official that coach Juan Manuel Gattone will not continue to lead the Pergamino Básquet squad for the remainder of the Federal Tournament. The exit was “by mutual agreement” between the parties, reported the statement released by the executive committee of the entity of our city.
The reason for this decision has to do “exclusively with the overlapping of dates as a result of the constant postponements of matches in the Federal Tournament, due to the health situation in the country.” This leads to a significant postponement of the original calendar, which will surely extend beyond July.
It should be remembered that Gattone is the main technical assistant of the Argentine U19 team, which is in the process of preparing for the World Cup in the category, to be played in Latvia from July 3 to 11. This situation “generates an even greater commitment in the hours of face-to-face work as the date approaches, in terms of their stay with the national team,” the statement explained.
Support their growth
“All of us who make up Pergamino Básquet consider and support the growth of both players and coaches in the city, and this time it could not be the exception. Without a doubt, it is a difficult and unwanted situation. The pandemic, which is going through us, generates this type of decision. As a leadership we must support and encourage to always go for more, to grow in the objectives and that a person from Parma represents our country generates enormous pride “, says another of the paragraphs of the statement released in the afternoon of this Monday.
At the end of the note, Pergamino Básquet thanked “Juanma” and highlighted “both the personal and his professional work, being a very important bastion in the beginning and development of this project. From the sporting point of view, he leaves the institution, at the end of two seasons, with more than satisfactory numbers, classified for the decisive instances of the contest, located in the first position of the Buenos Aires Division. We wish him the best in his sports career and hopefully basketball will find us again. “
