Letter from Joan Peñarroya

When last summer, when Josep Sáez and Roman, I decided to go back to Manresa after 15 years as a coach I was invaded by a mixture of enthusiasm and responsibility that accompanied me in this intense, fantastic And unforgettable year so much for me as for my family.

Few times a coach may have the fortune to live and receive such affection, support and recognition as the one you have given me from the first day. I have no words to describe everything that you have made me feel.

The trainers are nothing without the great protagonists, and this year I was lucky enough to enjoy great professionals and people inside the dressing room. I want to thank the involvement and work of all the players that have been in the first team and our young people of inferior categories who have helped us so much.

I would like to thank you for your work and complicity in Xevi, Marc, Adrian, Nil, Marc, Joan, Jordi, Damià and Roman to get along and do a brutal job in a year full of obstacles.

To the people of offices for the treatment and dedication that make it possible for the club to grow day by day. To the executive of the club, highlighting the figure of Josep, the true soul of this exciting project as we did not have in Manresa and region for years. I hope and wish that such good work will be rewarded with more financial support, both necessary to remain a flag of this great city throughout Spain and Europe.

To the different media for the respect shown to my work.

And above all, I want to show an infinite gratitude to our fans, led by the Animation Course. I think the team made a good basketball this season but we had the great spectacle and enjoyed the stands in the New Congost.

Touch to separate paths, it is not easy for me to leave my house but my profession requires making decisions and I find it is time to start a new challenge in my career.

With the best wishes for everyone! Força Resa!
