Ariel Vanguardia set to coach Go for Gold-flavored IECO in Terrific 12


Former Phoenix Fuel Masters head coach Ariel Vanguardia will be manning the sidelines for the IECO Green Warriors in the Asia League’s Terrific 12 tournament in Macau, set in September.

Vanguardia will be heading a team that will feature PBA D-League stars. So far, nine have been put in, with the majority coming from 2018 Foundation Cup champions Go for Gold Scratchers.
