After 20 seasons and 642 games in the Endesa League, Fernando San Emeterio announced his retirement this summer from the fields, going on to become assistant coach of Valencia Basket, his last club on the floor.
The ACB, on behalf of all the clubs, will deliver a recognition at the break of the first official game of the new season, the semifinal of the Endesa Super Cup that will face Barça and Valencia Basket.
Fernando San Emeterio has had a legendary race. Since his debut in the 2001-02 season in Valladolid, he has added 20 seasons of very high performance, successes and awards.
