On Saturday, FEB president José Luis Sáez confirmed that the women´s national team coach, Evaristo Pérez, will continue on with the team at the Eurobasket 2009 tournament, regardless of Spain´s results at the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Women that begins in Madrid on Monday.
At this tournament, in which 12 national teams will participate (including Spain, Belarus, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Senegal, Angola, Fiji, Japan, and Taiwan) there will be five slots to play in the Olympic games this summer in Beijing up for grabs.
Spain is looking to make the historical qualification, since the team has never been to two consecutive Olympic tournaments. The Spanish national coach recognizes that it is, ¨Always satisfying that your work is valued even beyond the results achieved.
