Ambros Martín Steps Down as Coach of the Spanish Women's Handball Team
The Royal Spanish Handball Federation (RFEBM) and coach Ambros Martín have mutually agreed to end his tenure leading the women's national team. This measure seeks a change in direction to face the team's upcoming international challenges. 🏐
An Agreed Replacement to Renew the Project
The decision to part ways was made after evaluating the team's performance in recent commitments, which did not meet expectations. Martín took over in May 2023 with the main task of renewing the squad, and his most notable achievement was qualifying the team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. However, the federation considers a new impetus necessary ahead of the 2026 European Championship and the 2027 World Cup.
Key Points of Ambros Martín's Cycle:- Arrival in 2023 to rejuvenate the team and lay foundations.
- Main success: securing the Olympic spot for Paris.
- Recent results below the expected level, prompting the change.
The common goal is for the team to arrive in the best conditions at the major tournaments following the Olympic event.
Joaquín Rocamora Takes Charge of the Guerreras
The RFEBM has not delayed in appointing a successor. Joaquín Rocamora will be the new head coach. Until now, he combined the direction of the women's junior national team with coaching the Atticgo Elche club. The federation trusts in his experience and knowledge to guide the Guerreras in this new phase. 🛡️
Profile of the New Coach:- Previously, women's junior national team head coach.
- Also coach of Atticgo Elche in the domestic league.
- Takes on the challenge of preparing the team for the upcoming competitive cycles.
Cycle Culminating with Eyes on Paris
Ambros Martín's tenure ends with the focus on this summer's Olympic participation. Despite fulfilling the main qualification objective, the team's subsequent evolution did not convince, leading to an early agreed departure. Now, fans hope the new coach will propel the team without needing strange advantages, focusing on work and tactics to achieve success. 🥇
