Rolando Uríos Fonseca (born January 27, 1971 in Bayamo , Cuba ) is a former handball player . The native Cuban later took on Spanish citizenship.
He is on the position of the circle runner as one of the world's best handball player of the first decade of the 21st century. An important element of his style of play was the use of his body, which is clearly above average - with a height of 1.93 m, he weighed over 110 kilograms. Centurions played for in the Spanish Liga ASOBAL playing BM Ciudad Real and times for the 53 Spanish national team . Before accepting Spanish citizenship, he played 79 times for the Cuban selection .
With Ciudad Real, Rolando Uríos won the European Cup Winners 'Cup in 2002 , again the European Cup Winners' Cup and the Copa del Rey de Balonmano in 2003, the Spanish championship and the Copa ASOBAL in 2004, the Copa ASOBAL and the Spanish Supercup in 2005, and the Copa ASOBAL in 2006 EHF Champions League and the European Club Championship and in 2007 the Spanish Championship and the European Club Championship. In 2008 the titles of the Spanish championship, the Copa ASOBAL, the Spanish Supercup, the Spanish Cup and the Champions League followed. In 2009 he again won the Spanish championship and the EHF Champions League. He then ended his career after suffering from chronic knee pain for years. Urio's shirt number 17 has not been awarded by BM Ciudad Real since then, his jersey was permanently hung at the team's venue. The club had previously only granted the same honor to two-time world handball player Talant Dujshebaev .
While still wearing the Cuban jersey, Uríos was the top scorer at the 1999 World Cup and thus made an important contribution to reaching eighth place for his team, the greatest success of the Cuban national handball team to date . As the best circle player, he was elected to the All-Star Team of the World Cup tournament. At the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 , when Cuba was eliminated early after five defeats in the preliminary round, Uríos reached fourth place in the tournament's top scorer list. With Spain he won the 2005 World Cup in Tunisia ; at the European handball championship in 2006 he won silver .
After finishing his active career, Uríos coached the second teams of BM Ciudad Real and Cátedra 70 de Malagón one after the other from 2011, before he joined BM Alarcos in Ciudad Real as a youth coach in August 2014 together with his long-time Cuban friend Julio Fis . From May 2018 he coached the Dominican men's national handball team . In February 2019 he took over the coaching position from the Spanish second division handbol Marratxí. In the 2019/20 season he coached the German Brandenburg league club HSV Wildau. In summer 2020 he will take over the fourth division club VfL Tegel.
