Argentina's Head Coach Sergio Hernandez Uncertain Future

Argentina's Head Coach for the previous three summers, Sergio Hernandez, does not know at the moment if he will continue to be the team's guide and mentor, even after returning from the 2008 Beijing Olympics with a Bronze Medal in the Games Basketball Tournament.

The thing is that his contract with the CABB (Basketball Confederation of Argentina) reached end of life at the end of the 2008 Olympic games. In an interview with Buenos Aires, Argentina, news outlet, Olé, he said that he still doesn't know whether he will continue to lead Team Argentina or not.

“The cycle has ended and there could be a contract renewal or not. But, to be completely frank, at this moment in time, that is something that is not taking a lot of space in my mind. Right now I have to lower revolutions, take some down time and let the results from Beijing take its course. This is also a time where the Confederation must analyze and decide on what they want to do.", explained Hernandez, who at the moment is also the mentor of the FIBA Americas League first edition Champion, basketball club Peñarol and before that was the driving force behind the, also Argentinean basketball club, Boca Juniors.

Hernandez came in to take the reins of the team after Rubén Magnano, who was Head Coach for the team at the 2004 Olympics at Athens, Greece, and left Team Argentina to lead basketball club Real Madrid of the ACB League in Spain. “Gonzalo Garcia, Guillermo Narvarte and Julio Lamas are first class coaches. I had the privilege of having them as assistants. I think that any of them could and would be excellent for the position of head coach for the team", said Hernandez.
