Diego is making her debut in the professional ranks after being a UAAP girls’ champion coach in 2019.
The youthful mentor steered the Lady Bullpups, led by Bella Belen, Alyssa Solomon, and Lams Lamina, to a 14-0 sweep of the Season 84 tournament.
She resigned as Nazareth School coach and NU Lady Bulldogs coaching staff in 2020.
Diego, who also called the shots for the women’s 17-under and 19-under national teams, played for La Salle under De Jesus in the 2000s.
Expectations are high for Diego as F2 Logistics is seeking to have a better 2023 season after missing the semifinals in the previous year, placing sixth in the Open Conference, skipping the Invitationals, and finishing fifth in the Reinforced Conference.
