Andorran Basketball Coach Cristian Vegas Balances Court, IT Job, and Family

Cristian Vegas, the Andorran national basketball team head coach born in 1979, balances his role with coaching duties for MoraBanc's senior B squad while working as an IT professional.

In a recent feature, Vegas highlighted his closest priorities. Topping the list are his dogs, which he credits for teaching him valuable lessons, even if those days have passed. He shared a photo celebrating one of his senior B team's home victories this season, underscoring his hands-on involvement with the group he now helps develop.

Vegas recounted the pinnacle of his coaching career: twice guiding teams to the top of the podium, including victories at the Campionat de Catalunya. The 2023-2024 season stood out as flawless, with his squad claiming the Campionat de Catalunya title and securing FIBA European Small States gold.

Away from the court, Vegas finds time passes quickly while listening to podcasts. He cherishes quiet reflection spots and moments with his partner, whom he described as the daily supporter who simplifies everything. Food ranks among his simple pleasures, often shared with others, while his daughter remains his greatest soft spot.
