Pepu Hernandez has been sacked as coach

Pepu Hernandez, coach who led Spain to gold at the World Cup in Japan, has been removed from office by the FEB president Jose Luis Saez.

After much discussion and disagreement between them, the end Pepu has been throughout the selection. World champion and European runner may not lead Spain to the top of the Olympic podium. The reasons, breach of contract and lack of respect. I fear it will take long to discover the whole story. The ELF did not like Pepu Hernandez announced his departure from the selection before the Olympic Games and accused of creating bad feeling before the big event.

If that was bad environment, do not know what will be this. Now the selection is without a coach just two months before the big date. Will this affect the performance of our players? Of course I do, however much we try to believe otherwise. The selection was a well-formed block, but will remain so, how to train the new coach will be different.

The ELF will contact Aito Garcia Reneses to supply Pepu Hernandez, who said he had stopped "without reason".
