The Endesa League is about to finish its regular season. To two days for the end, the play-offs and a descent square remain to be defined. But whatever the results of this course, some teams want Ensure that the continuity of your project facing the next few years.
That is precisely what Baxi Manresa has done. The Bages as a whole The continuity of its sports director has been ensured, announcing on Tuesday the renewal of Xevi Pujol until 2028. Through a video on social networks, the message has been clear: “Nothing changes. As at home, nowhere”.
The architect of Manresa
Hill He arrived at the club's sports director on the summer of 2020. Born in the Catalan city itself, Manresano was always very attached to Nou Congost, playing in the lower categories of the club, collaborating with the first teams since 2011 and, finally, as of 2014, being an assistant to all the technicians of the Banxi Baxi Manresa bench.
However, already in the offices, it is where his work really flourished. Since their appointment as a sports director, the results of the team have gone to arrive. With the exception of the 22/23 course, Manresa has been in the Top10 the other four campaigns And, this season 24/25, looks for its third play-offs in the last four years.
In addition, during this time of Xevi Pujol at the head of the Baxi Manresa, The Bages team have taken a Catalan League, in 2021 and was runner -up of the Basketball Champions League that same course 21/22. A competition in which these seasons have been regular.
Reinvent each course
All these results value Pujol work, knowing the multiple changes and the difficulty of maintaining a block year after year. Without going any further, Xevi Pujol was in charge of bringing a player like Chima Moneke to the Endesa Leaguewhere the Nigerian exploded.
And when players like Moneke or Devin Robinson stand out, or when a technician like Pedro Martínez draws the best of the workforce, clubs with more economic potential come to look for them. It is there where the work of a sports director enters that, Not only can it be able to replace key casuals year after year, but it does so keeping the staff level.
That is why, in the absence of two games to finish the Endesa League, The Baxi Manresa continues to fight to enter the play-off. It has it very difficult, but not impossible. Those of the Bages need to win the two games that they have left and that, at least one between Baskonia, Gran Canaria and Joventut, lose them to ensure the square.
