Juan Cardona, the 2024 Coach of the Year, is exploring the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) market with an option to return to the Capitanes de Arecibo. Cardona has a meeting scheduled with the Arecibo management to discuss his potential return. The team's general manager, Gabriel Miranda, confirmed the pending commitment to discuss Cardona's future.
Cardona has received permission from the franchise, led by José Manuel Baeza, to interview with other teams. He has already been in contact with three teams, but has not disclosed their names. The Gigantes de Carolina - Canóvanas are seeking a new coach after Carlos González's departure, and the Cangrejeros de Santurce may consider bringing back David Rosario.
Cardona took responsibility for the Capitanes' failure to advance to the next phase of the postseason for the third consecutive season. He expressed his desire to return to the team, but also acknowledged the need to explore other options.
