During his official presentation, García, known as 'Che', stressed that his intuition tells him that CB Gran Canaria will achieve salvation. The Argentine coach urged against panic, reminding everyone that there are still nine games left in the competition to reach their goal.
“"Of course I have ideas, but I've just outlined them with the assistants. The thing is, at this point, one has to set short-term, achievable goals. Even so, my heart tells me that we are not going down, that we are going to save ourselves, no matter what. I declare it because I feel it for the club, for the players, for the staff, and for the history this team has. Now we are going to go step by step fulfilling these things to see if, in the medium term, things get better, but let's not press the panic button, because there are nine games left."
The sports director of the 'claretian' team, Willy Villar, added a significant contractual detail. He reported that Néstor 'Che' García has an automatic renewal clause for an additional season if the team manages to qualify for a European competition. This would mean finishing among the top 12 or 13 teams in the Liga ACB.
“"If he ends up qualifying us for a European competition, which in the Liga ACB would mean finishing among the top 12 or 13, he has an automatic renewal for one more year."
García's arrival on the Dreamland Gran Canaria bench aims to revitalize the team and secure its place in the top Spanish basketball league, while also eyeing potential European aspirations.
