Gordie Herbert, who previously coached Germany to victory at the 2023 World Cup, has been appointed as the head coach for Canada's men's national basketball team, starting in 2026. This position will see him lead the team through major upcoming events, including the 2027 World Cup in Qatar and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. His appointment comes after the departure of former coach Jordi Fernandez. Canada Basketball has witnessed significant improvements in its global standing, most recently achieving a bronze medal at the 2023 World Cup.
Herbert's championship pedigree and understanding of the FIBA game make him the ideal leader for this next chapter of Canada Basketball, as indicated by Canada Basketball's executive vice president.
Herbert expressed gratitude, stating, 'I'm incredibly honored and excited for the opportunity to coach my home country. Canada Basketball has made tremendous progress in recent years, and the depth of talent in the program is as good as anywhere in the world.'
