NBA Basketball News: Jordi Fernandez confirmed that he will still coach the Canadian national team for the 2024 Paris Olympics. His decision to become the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets does not change his commitment to the Canadian national team.

As we know, Jordi Fernandez has just been selected as the new coach of the Brooklyn Nets. He was chosen to replace Jacque Vaughn who parted ways with the Nets some time ago. Even though he accepted a new position as the new coach of the Nets, Jordi has not given up his position as coach of the Canadian national team. He will still defend Canada at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.

“We have worked closely with Jordi and the Nets throughout this process and we can confirm that Jordi will remain our coach this summer at the 2024 Paris Olympics, as we look to build on the success we have achieved last summer,” Rowan Barrett said. director of the Canadian national team.

Jordi's progress with the Canadian national team is indeed quite good. In the 2023 FIBA ​​World Cup alone, Jordi managed to lead Canada to win a bronze medal. Canada showed so strong before ultimately having to fall in the semifinals (and then prevailing in the third place match against the United States). Now, with the more prestigious Olympic tournament in Paris, Jordi's presence is of course really necessary again. Jordi's game system is a perfect fit for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his friends.
