Ourense coach Diego Ocampo has been promoted to LEB Oro with Tizon Burgos

Diego Ocampo Vázquez (Ourense, 1976) is basketball coach by profession and loyalty. Raised during those early years PISTON, the baskets of the Salesianos eventually won him over, although he also defended in other sports. His determination to study INEF led him to face the benches and his first steps in ABO or the very structure of the cobista encouraged him to jump to professionalism, as an assistant in the LEB 1 team and, later, after Salva Maldonado in Tarragon, where he would later make his debut as head coach. He was still drinking from the relief coach’s fountain Pedro Martinez, joan trg and laureate Aíto García Reneses. That experience gave him the necessary management to take over teams in the highest national category, such as UCAM Murciamythical Students and youth or Zaragozanot forgetting its phases ua Manresa from BREAD Gold or in a branch of a giant football club Barcelona.

As the man from Ourense likes to say, his training is as solid in practice as it is in theory: “I was lucky that very good coaches and clubs believed in me, as well as the players I learned from.”

After an overseas adventure in Germany, Diego had the opportunity to lead the club from his hometown, but the instability forged between the investor Pedro Fernández and the management redirected him towards Tizona Burgos, at the end of last year. From the very beginning, the current season was triumphant. 24 wins and only 2 losses in the regular part gave way to the champion in which they won Prat. Another triple and brilliant promotion, accompanied by players from Ourense, Rodrigo Seoane.
