As reported by RAC1, the coach of Barça handball Carlos Ortega will train the Japan team next Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The coach, who had an offer from the Japanese team, received the approval of the Barça club to combine his work and focus on the Olympic event in the summer.
This is not a new situation at Barça. Xavi Pascual He has alternated his position as coach with the coach of Romania for some time, while Valero Rivera He did it in Spain way back in 1993.
Nor will it be a new position for Ortega that of the Japan coach. He had already led the Japanese team in 2015 before an Asia Cup, where his team also won the bronze medal. Japan has qualified for the Paris Games since it won the Asian pre-Olympic in October 2023.
