The departure of Néstor García from Argentina shook the shelves of the basketball environment due to the short circuit he had with the players. But three weeks after that match against the Bahamas for the Qualifiers that marked the end of the cycle, Che already has a new team. This Thursday he was presented as coach of the Dominican Republic. And, coincidentally, he will have to face the Prigioni National Team in November in a qualifying match for the Japan-Philippines-Indonesia 2023 World Cup.
“The experienced Argentine manager Néstor Che García has been hired to captain the senior team of the Dominican National Basketball Team as part of the efforts to qualify for the Basketball World Cup and continue improving his performance,” says the Fedombal statement. .
After the CAB announced that Che left for “privacy reasons” and the video of his confusion in a timeout against the Bahamas went viral, Pablo Prigioni took over in his place and the National Team ended up winning the AmeriCup.
Now Che will be reunited with his former leaders. On November 10, Argentina will face the Dominican Republic for the Qualifiers. In this group, the leader is Canada with 16 points, followed by Venezuela with 15, Argentina with 14 and the Dominican Republic with 13 (the first three and the best fourth from both zones will get the seven places available for the World Cup).
The positions of the area are closed by Panama and the Bahamas with 10 units, so today Argentina is fighting with Dominica for that third place that ensures the classification.
