Gran Canaria’s failure to reach the play-offs in basketball’s ACB League (Premiership) for the first time in recent years is seen as a warning sign that changes are needed at the club, the only Canarian side in the top flight.

14.06.2008 - Coach Salva Maldonado is under increasing pressure to produce the goods next season after a disappointing year which saw Sitapha Savané and his colleagues miss out on the Spanish Cup and league play-offs. The only bright spot was a relatively good run in the ULEB Cup, basketball’s equivalent of the UEFA Cup in football.

Rumours of major prob­lems in the dressing room between players and also between some senior members of the team and Maldonado soured the end of the season and although they were denied by the club at the time several changes now look certain during the summer. Among the likely departures is local idol Roberto Guerra, whose contract ends now. Guerra, one of the players thought to have had run-ins with the coach, says he would like to continue but will wait to see what the club offers before making any decision.
