PBA: Trademark 'NSD' mentality remains with LA Tenorio in Magnolia
LA Tenorio has officially departed from Barangay Ginebra after 13 years to become the new head coach for Magnolia.
He expressed deep gratitude to the Gin Kings' organization and reminisced about his 19-year PBA career, during which he won championships with Ginebra.
Tenorio joined Ginebra in 2012 and was instrumental in their championship success.
His final game for Ginebra saw him hit a crucial game-winning triple to force a Game 7 in the PBA Season 49 Philippine Cup semifinals against San Miguel.
Tenorio formally announced the end of his PBA career to take on a new challenge as coach of sister team Magnolia.
He stated that it was the right time to take on a new chapter after almost two decades of playing, representing the country, and surviving cancer.
San Miguel management's trust and love were cited by Tenorio as reasons for taking the coaching opportunity with Magnolia.
Tenorio's appointment as Magnolia mentor was announced in July by SMC sports director Alfrancis Chua.
