The coach who will manage the national senior males basketball team in the Olympic Games to be held in Beijing, China, next August, will be announced this Thursday at 4 p.m by the Angolan Basketball Federation (FAB).
Speaking to ANGOP this Thursday, the chairman of the Angolan Basketball Federation, Gustavo da Conceição, said that all coaches who managed the main teams in the National Championship are candidates, having added that after this, the list of the pre-selected summoned players for the Olympic Games will be announced.
Alberto de Carvalho "Ginguba", who won the ninth continental title for Angola and achieved the best stand ever of an African team in the Japan World Cup, as well as the Portuguese Luís Magalhães (1º de Agosto’s coach) are on top of the list for the job.
Due to his experience in charge of the African champions (Angola), Petro de Luanda coach, Alberto de Carvalho, is the main candidate for the post, despite the prestige of 1º de Agosto`s manager, who has been dubbed “titles winner” because of his background in conquering competitions in Europe and now for 1º de Agosto as well.
