MADRID, 25 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The former basketball player Laia Palau has been appointed this Monday as the new sports director of Uni Girona, replacing Pere Puig, as announced by the Catalan club in a statement.
“As announced at the time, Pere Puig is leaving the sports management of Uni Girona to carry out managerial functions within the board, leaving his position to the former captain of the Spa Girona Laia Palau”, confirmed the Catalan team.
Palau will appear before the media this Tuesday, July 26, at 12:30 p.m., at the Girona-Fontajau Municipal Pavilion, together with Pere Puig and the club president, Cayetano Pére.
From Uni Girona they highlighted the active participation of Pere Puig “in the growth” of the club “since its foundation”, being a “direct participant” in the promotion to the Women’s League, in the two leagues won, in the Copa de la Reina and in the participation of the Girona team in the highest European category.
Therefore, in addition to dealing with the incorporations and sporting issues of the first team, Palau, who a few weeks ago confirmed his retirement as a professional, will alone direct the women’s training teams of his former Uni Girona team together with the new ones of Bàsquet Girona, a team chaired by Marc Gasol and which will host the women’s base teams, under the name ‘Bàsquet Girona Uni-Laia Palau’.
