AMBROS MARTIN
v 4 Women's EHF Champions League (2013, 2014, 2014, 2017, 2018), 1 Women's EHF Cup (2009), 4 Jmes declared Coach of the Year in the Women's EHF Champions League (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), among many others... How does it feel to be the most successful Spanish and European coach with women's teams? What goal do you sJll have to achieve? AM: Well, humbly, I don't feel anything special... perhaps nostalgia and, in any case, graNtude to all those who made each of those Ntles possible, in one way or another. Besides, it is something that belongs to the past, I do not believe in individual disNncNons, and I consider that the results, although it is something that is pursued when you are in the high compeNNon, are clearly harmful, because they can become toxic ... And we can become confused. What I have yet to accomplish in women's handball is something that, although it may seem presumptuous, has nothing to do with winning in itself, something that goes beyond good results, is something that in some ways I do not know, and I would like to feel and make you feel; and it would have something to do with excellence well understood. v AUer everything that has happened in recent months with Rostov and the Russian naJonal team... What moJvated you to return to Gyor? AM.-On the one hand, we did not achieve with Rostov what we set out to do when we went there. In the first year there was a becer team than us in Europe and then the pandemic unexpectedly paralysed and cancelled all compeNNons. This, together with the fact that I was kicked out of the naNonal team at the last European Championships, I felt that it was not the best way to end my Nme in women's handball.
On the other hand, there is Gyor, which I know perfectly well, and it is a club, a team, a fan base, to which it is impossible to say no when they need you. v You have two seasons ahead of you to "close" your stage as a women's coach... what has made you want to embark on the management of a men's team in the not too distant future? AM.-Well, it's something that has been on my mind for some Nme, and afer they didn't let me fulfil my dream of parNcipaNng in an Olympiad, I thought about it in order to start the men's adventure in the next one.
