The famous Spanish sports daily newspaper "Marca" reported a few days ago that the Spanish basketball coach will visit North Korea next month to provide guidance to the players for a month. Head coach Ricardo González reportedly said in a recent interview with Marca newspaper that he will depart from Madrid on the 6th of next month and enter Pyongyang via Beijing. He plans to spend a month in Pyongyang to coach North Korean men's and women's national teams and give lectures to coaches and referees.

In November 2014, the DPRK held the 54th Artist Sports Tournament, which was divided into two categories: film art and stage art.

According to the report, the visit was not in the form of hiring a head coach for the national team, but in the form of participating in a basketball exchange program. Coach Gonzalez said in an interview: "The experience of being with the North Korean players on my first visit was one of the most memorable moments of my career. I can't forget the hard work and honesty they showed, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to get back to where I was going. ”

Coach Gonzalez plans to be active in North Korea until March 11 before traveling there to take up the position of head coach of the Dominican Republic league team. Coach Gonzalez coached the North Korean men's and women's national basketball teams for about four months in 2016 and was a topic of conversation.
