Jordi Fernandez has stepped down as head coach of the Canadian men’s basketball team. Canada Basketball released a statement announcing the news on Thursday. Fernandez’s decision comes as he attempts to balance time with his family and his responsibilities with the Brooklyn Nets.
“With careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to step away from my position with Canada Basketball,” Fernandez said. “After several summers away, I feel the need to prioritize finding balance with my family. I also believe it is my responsibility to spend the offseason with the players and coaches here in Brooklyn. We have a young, developing team, and these next few summers will play an important role in the continued growth of both our team and culture.”
The newly hired Nets head coach took over for Canada in the summer of 2023, replacing Nick Nurse, who had just been named head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. He led the team to a bronze medal at the 2023 Fiba World Cup, defeating Team USA in the process.
Canada went undefeated in pool play at the Paris Olympics this summer before falling to silver medalist France in the quarterfinals. It marked the team’s first men’s Olympic appearance since 2000.
