Regarding the position he holds at the Angolan Basketball Federation (FAB), as technical director, he explained that in his opinion there is no incompatibility because it is a position that does not interfere directly in the competition and does not take individual decisions. However, he added that if the FAB decides that there is no compatibility, the position will be available. Libolo are the title holders of the national senior men's basketball championship.
