As they wrote, selfishness, improvisation and betrayal amongst the people who led the FEVA were the key reasons.
Javier Weber has become a head coach of Argentine in May 2009. Under his leadership Argentina played five times in the World league and had a few ups and downs. In 2009, he took fifth place in Belgrade. After a year, he finished 10th in Sofia while in 2011 he took fourth place in Gdansk.
