After the dismissal of Che as technical director of the national team, the Confederation confirmed Gonzalo García and Leonardo Gutiérrez as interim managers at the tournament.
The departure of Nestor García as coach of the Argentine Basketball Team caused a stir because of the proximity of the victory against the Bahamas for the qualification for the World Cup and because the AmeriCup starts in a few days. The Confederation has already confirmed the alternates for the event in Brazil.
From the Argentine Basketball Confederation, they confirmed that Gonzalo García and Leonardo Gutiérrez will manage the team in the AmeriCup to be played in Recife, Brazil. Additionally, Pablo Prigioni will be part of the coaching staff.
Argentina will be part of group B in the AmeriCup and will be joined by the Virgin Islands, with whom it will debut next Saturday, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The list will consist of the same players who participated in the World Cup qualification dates.
