Cambre, Betanzos, Narn, The Corua y Denmark. Diego Fernndez (The Corua, 1980)after passing through the quarry of the Leyma, among other experiences in Galicia, has known success in basketball during his time at the BK Amager.
At the Danish club, she took charge of both the under-19 team and the absolute women’s team. With the first, after signing a season above expectations and being the leader in the regular competition, in the final four they were proclaimed league champions. A milestone for the under-19 team, which managed to win this title for the first time in its history.
With the absolute picture, he was on the verge of repeating the same feat. The squad was made up of Danish players from the youth academy. In addition, it was made up of only four seniors who go to the national team. The others were from the under-19s and two from the under-17s, so the team stood out for its youth.
The start of the season was tough. With so many new players, we had to try to create a team and break the age difference, says Fernndez. And, when they began to carburize, the injuries to the fundamental pillars arrived. But all those blows did not affect the team excessively, which managed to participate in the league semifinals, where it even forced the playoff game. Despite being defeated and not arriving with the favorites sign, they competed and never lost face in the tie. Perhaps their inexperience and management of the last minutes of the decisive match penalized them, he points out.
New projects
After succeeding in Kastrup, he has returned to Galicia to rest after months of high intensity and work. However, he cannot stand still. Fernndez already has his mind set on new projects that he, he hopes, will be in Galicia or, at least, in Spain. But if something is clear, it is that, in Denmark, they want him back. It is not for less.
