This season, Reneses became the oldest coach to lead a team in ACB at more than 75 years of age. The only coach who had coached a team in an ACB match after the age of 70 was Svetislav Pesic, who did so with FC Barcelona.

Throughout his career, Reneses has directed more than 1100 games in the ACB, more than any other coach in the league's history.

With 11 wins and 23 losses, Girona Basquet finished the season in 15th place

The team's owner and leader Marc Gasol was not sure about staying in the organization as a player as well.
