Manila, Philippines – The Tenorio would be the first to admit that he is still undergoing a learning curve in the new chapter of his basketball life as a new coach of the Magnolia Hotshots.
“Slowly, I will get used to it,” said Tenorio during the recruit recovery of the PBA on Sunday, his first official act calling for the shots for Magnolia before the 50th League season.

It has been more than a month since San Miguel Corporation appointed Tenorio to succeed Chito Victolero in order to shoot the fortune of the Hotshots team who has not won a championship since the 2018 governors Cup.
The offseason also saw Magnolia carry out movements with the acquisition of Javi Gomez from Liano de Terrafirma, who previously held his rights, as well as the signature of the former Northport goalkeeper, Paolo Taha.
Magnolia has also undergone changes in the direction of conjunction with the appointment of Tenorio after the new role of Jason Webb as team governor and entry of Erick Arejola, who had previously the same duty with Northport, as a “consultant”.

“Until now, everything is fine between me and the team because I know the players and the players know me, and they are very worked,” he said. “Basically, it is a composition of veterans and young players.”
Tenorio recently took a break to prepare the hotshots for the coming season, managing Gilas Pilipinas in the Fiba U-16 Asia Cup which ended on a sour note with a defeat against Bahrain in the qualification match of the quarterfinals.
