The University of Perpetual Help System Dalta made it official on Tuesday night, hiring Mike Saguiguit as its new head coach for its senior men's basketball team.
Anton Tamayo, in his capacity as Perpetual's liaison officer-in-charge for the athletic program, made the announcement. He says of the decision, "He’s now the coach starting December 1."
In naming him as the head coach at the senior level, the school is also realigning Saguiguit's duties for its high school program, tasking him with overseeing responsibilities. However, he has decided to yield head coaching duties for the Junior Altas to one of his assistants, Joph Cleofas.
According to Mike about the move to name Joph to that particular post, "He will be the new high school coach but I will still look after them as we only have one program."
The 46-year old has been handling both squads on an interim basis ever since Frankie Lim left the program earlier this year.
Also serving as the head coach of the Paranaque Patriots in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, Saguiguit will be tasked to return the Altas to the Final Four in the upcoming 96th season of the NCAA.
He shares that the core of the team that finished 5-13 last season will return, with the likes of Jielo Razon, Ben Adamos, and Tonton Peralta being bolstered by the addition of Mario Barasi, Jr.
