The dismissal came by phone and just arrived from Stockholm, where he accompanied the men's handball team, which revalidated gold in the European final. The Minister of Culture and Sports Jos Manuel Rodrguez Uribes has ceased on Monday by phone to the until yesterday president of the Higher Sports Council and Secretary of State for Sports Mara Jos Reins, informs Brand.

The name that sounds strongest in the face of replacing the former skier is that of Irene Lozano, who since October 2018 has been Secretary of State for Global Spain, and that could be named in the next few hours as Cope has advanced.

Mara Jos Rienda, former ski world champion, came to the forefront of the highest state entity for sport in 2018. Shortly after joining the position, THE WORLD revealed exclusively that Rienda had eluded taxes through an instrumental society, with which came to enter 1.4 million euros in image rights through a company without activity since 2011.

However, Rienda managed to overcome the crisis and remain in office until Monday.

Pepu Hernndez throws balls out

Another name that sounded strong in the face of Rienda's replacement was that of the former basketball coach and PSOE municipal spokesman in the City of MadridPepu Hernndez. Asked on Monday about the possibility of presiding over the CSD, Hernndez, he did not want to assess the possibility and said he knows what he “reads in the news” and that he has “no other”, reports Efe.

“That is the same as you; what I have been reading on some occasions in some news that have been appearing, but I have no other news,” say in the V Gala of the Madrid Sports Press Association (APDM) awards to which I went to deliver an award to the men's and women's basketball teams for the World and European won, respectively, in 2019.
