Manila Clasico bittersweet with LA facing former teammates
LA Tenorio has been appointed as the new head coach of the Magnolia Hotshots, succeeding Chito Victolero.
This appointment will see Tenorio, the longest-tenured Barangay Ginebra player, on the opposing end of his former teammates starting in PBA Season 50.
San Miguel Corporation (SMC) sports director Alfrancis Chua confirmed the appointment on Monday.
Import Justin Brownlee expressed a bittersweet feeling about Tenorio joining Magnolia, acknowledging Tenorio's role as his 'second coach on the floor' during their time with Ginebra.
There is a possibility that Tenorio could also serve as a playing-coach for the Hotshots.
Chito Victolero will remain with the team as a consultant after his contract ends in December.
This marks Tenorio's first head coaching role for a PBA squad.
