“Maybe he needs a break,” sports director Himar Ojeda was quoted as saying by “Bild” and “BZ”. The now 74-year-old Spaniard often took a break after two years to regenerate.
“He’s been with Alba for four years now,” emphasized Ojeda, the 44-year-old, like the head coach, from Spain. Nothing has been decided yet, but it gets more difficult every year. Garcia Reneses will be 75 years old in December. At the end of last year, he was also infected with the corona virus. He is currently recovering from the rigors of a stressful season in his home country.
Meanwhile, the champion of the past two seasons has already to cope with the departure of the four top performers Niels Giffey, Peyton Siva, Jayson Granger and Simone Fontecchio.
Israel Gonzales would at least be available to replace Garcia Reneses. The 46-year-old – also from Spain – has been promoted to so-called “Associate Headcoach” since summer 2020, who is supposed to take over the management of the actual head coach in certain situations.
