MADRID, 15 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Lenovo Tenerife announced this Wednesday the renewal agreement with Marcelinho Huertas, who was ending his contract this summer, to sign two more years, until the end of the 2023/24 season, with the Canarian team.
“Lenovo Tenerife has reached a renewal agreement with Marcelinho Huertas, whose contract ended this summer, to extend his contract for two more seasons. The Brazilian international point guard will wear the aurinegra shirt until the end of the 2023-24 campaign,” announced the Laguna team.
The Tenerife team, which on Tuesday announced the renewal also until 2024 of its coach Txus Vidorreta, will continue to be led on the floor by the Brazilian base, who signed for the Canary Islands in 2019. “It has been a union that has gone very well the last three years. I still believe in the project and in the team. Most of the block continues. The team responds and competes,” said Huertas.
The website of the Canarian club collects the first impressions of its main base in recent campaigns, accompanying the news of its renewal. “Everything I have achieved continues to motivate and challenge me to try to achieve more. We come every day with that illusion and with the ambition to continue fighting for as much as we can”, he pointed out.
“You can’t relax because you’ve achieved some goal or a great job for three years in a row, because that doesn’t guarantee you anything for next season. We have to come back with the maximum desire and knowing that in order to be in the situation in which we have been these last seasons we have to continue working even more. That should feed us to continue working with the same hunger to be able to continue triumphing”, he sentenced.
Huertas is an important part of the team’s recent successes, which since his arrival have won a Basketball Champions League title, another Intercontinental Cup title, a semifinal in the Endesa League, with a historic third place in between, two Copa semifinals del Rey and many others from the Super Cup.
The 39-year-old Brazilian has so far played 159 official canarista matches in all competitions, becoming the team’s all-time top assistant, both in the Endesa League (684) and in FIBA Europe (351).
