As was already known since about two months, Josè Venancio Lopez Hierro is the new coach of the Division de Honor Club Lobelle de Santiago replacing Paco Presas. Venancio, who recently won the Ascenso Play Off series with EDL Muebles Caloto was officially introduced in Lobelle De Santiago with the press conference held on past June 8th in Santiago de Compostela.
Before starting the new season with the Spanish club, Venancio will keep on developing futsal with his courses, as he did during the past season.
Today he will leave Spain travelling towards Costa Rica in order to help Carlos Quiros in the CONCACAF Qualifying final round for Chinese Taipei World Championship. Venancio will attend the Costa Rican trainings for a week (10-17/6/2004). This was possible thanks to the support of the Costa Rican Football Federation, through Hermes Navarro, of the "Liga de Futsal AFUSCO" through its president Rafael Vargas Brenes and of the Sub Committe of Futsal Selections, through Luis Peraza, a Costa Rican lawyer who is hardly helping futsal development since many years. Venancio will help Costa Rican National team with a technical and tactical work, during a training meeting in the hall of the "Asociación Solidarista de la Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social", a company helping Costa Rican Futsal.

After this week Venancio will move to Guatemala for some days in order to have a supervision of the works started two years ago with all national teams of Guatemala.
