Moncho López

Ramon López Suárez, known as Moncho López (born in Ferrol, 10 July 1969), is a Spanish basketball manager and the current coach of FC Porto of Portugal.

He coached Baloncesto Galicia Ferrol (1995–1997) and Gijón Baloncesto (1998–2002), before taking office as the coach of Spain, which he guided to a silver medal at the EuroBasket 2003. After a brief spell at CB Sevilla, he was sacked after finishing 13th in the ACB. He was without a club when he was hired to coach the Portugal national basketball team, in January 2008. Portugal failed the direct qualification for the EuroBasket 2009, as well as the final play-offs. The team's performance at the EuroBasket 2011 qualification round lead to his dismissal from office.

Before leaving the Portuguese national team, he cumulated the coaching position in FC Porto since 2009–2010.^[1]
