García Morales renewed with Aguada that he starts to train and aims for the reconquest

That’s why the red-green finished putting together a great campus for the Uruguayan Basketball League 2021-2022.

This Tuesday the renewal, for one more season, of Leandro García Morales was confirmed who took a long vacation to ponder whether to continue playing or to retire.

First he went to Orlando with his daughter. Then he went to Puerto Rico for preseason on his own to work individual technique and visited his former coach in Biguá and the Uruguayan team, Argentine Néstor “Che” García.

García Morales, who signed his contract this Tuesday, will be accompanied by Federico Bavosi, Federico Pereiras, Sebastián Izaguirre and the great hiring of the club for this season: Mathías Calfani.

Mateo Sarni left and the water carrier decided to bet on a new triad of foreigners after what was the disappointing elimination suffered in the quarterfinals of the League 2021 against Capitol, which prevented him from going for the three-time championship.

Argentine forward Marcos Mata arrived on September 1. The point guard will be the American Tyreek Duren and the pivot the British Prince Ibeh, the son of Nigerians, trained at the university level in the United States and who defends the Rwandan national team. In the recent Afrobasket he fought with Walter Tavares, the 2.22m from Cape Verde and Real Madrid. He will arrive with his family on the 18th of this month.

Duren will arrive in Uruguay this Friday.

There was also a change of command. The Argentine Adrián Capelli is no longer there and in his place will come the Venezuelan, of Uruguayan parents, Daniel Seoane who arrived on Monday and this Wednesday will have his first training session at the head of the team.

Seoane’s first technical assistant will be Nicolás Díaz and the second Joel Pose. Physical preparation will be in charge of Federico Izeta and Mauricio Mendoza. The doctor will be Santiago Rivoir, the physiotherapist Joaquín Olivera and the team member Álvaro Bonari.

German Cortizas, who made the transition between Fernando Cabrera and Miguel Volcan for consecration in the 2018-2019 season and who later served as technical assistant for Volcan and Capelli in 2019-2020 and the 2021 League, became the institutional coordinator from Aguada.

The team must start the tournament with a four-point penalty and a six-date court closure due to incidents involving their fans (in the era of closed-door games) in the elimination against Capitol.
