As he himself announced this Tuesday through a brief statement, Ferdinand Rivas has officially informed the Spanish Badminton Federation and its president, Andoni Azurmendi, “the decision to disassociate myself from the Federation”. “I want to publicly convey my gratitude to the FESBA for all these years of joint work”, adds Fernando, to remember that “I started in 2004 with Manuel Hernandez that, with the impulse of David Hair, entrusted a young and enthusiastic badminton coach with the task of directing the CAR. Subsequently, this confidence was strengthened for years with David Cabello at the helm. Together we achieved successes that I would never have imagined when I started my career. To this, personal ties have been added with people who will always be part of my life”.
As explained by the coach from Granada, “the decision to leave the federation was motivated by a need for change, personally and professionally. I would like to add at this point that I will continue to be the coach of Caroline Marin, regardless of the new professional path you start. Together we began a process years ago that has not ended. We have shown many times that limits do not exist and we want to do so once again.”
“To all the current team that forms the FESBAI wish you the best possible future. Our badminton deserves it that way”, ends his note Fernando Rivas, to whom from the Spanish Badminton Federation, as stated by its president, Andoni Azurmendi, “One can only be grateful for his great work and wish him the best of luck in his new journey. Although he leaves the Federation, Fernando He has already commented that he will stay by Carolina’s side and, therefore, his relationship with Spanish badminton and with the federation itself will continue to be very close”.
