The title not won by Š. Jasikevičius can further disrupt the market of Euroleague coaches

Only two matches remain to be played in the Euroleague, and the managers of the clubs playing in the tournament still cannot make the first moves.

As recently as last year, the first big deals were made in the final four and a few weeks before it. However, there are no agreements this year, as many teams have not decided who will coach the promising players next season.

It is already clear that Istanbul “Anadolu Efes” will hire a new strategist – Erginas Atamans takes over the helm of Panathinaikos Athens. The club that won the EuroLeague twice in a row wanted to hire Ioannis Sfairopoulos, but the Greek refused this offer, so now they are close to an agreement with Erdemu Singing.

It is possible that Turk Telekom of Ankara, coached by this Turk, will receive a name call instead of the Las Palmas Gran Canaria team, which is refusing a place, so this team will also need a new specialist. However, the most realistic thing is that the EuroLeague will give Valencia basketball players a chance to compete for one more season.

ALBA Berlin may also be looking for a change, but not because of a poor performance in the EuroLeague, but because of a looming fiasco in the German league, where they trail Ulm’s Ratiopharm 1-2 in a three-win quarter-final series. ALBA, which has won the local league matches three times in a row, can change Israel Gonzalez.

Bayern Munich also make a switch – Andrea Trenches leaves of his own accord, and he is replaced Pablo Ribbon. Meanwhile, the Italian himself does not yet know where he will go to work – it is realistic that it will be Bologna’s “Virtus”, which he will leave Sergio scario. The Italian had a conversation with the leaders of the Toronto Raptors about Mr. coach, and he is also mentioned as the main candidate to take over the helm of Real Madrid.

Here remains an interesting aspect that Chusas Mateo is already seen in the Spanish media as a dismissed specialist, but if he wins the EuroLeague and the Spanish championship with Real, he might retain his position. Meanwhile, S. Scariolo is far from the main candidate to coach the Raptors, because now the National Basketball Association (NBA) has a number of famous names who have lost their jobs in other league teams. S. Scariolo’s advantage is that he has worked in the Raptors’ staff. If this Italian does not get a job in either Real or Raptors, then he would remain in Virtus and A. Trinchieri’s door would be closed. Maybe then the Bavarians would not sign contracts with P. Laso and keep the already tested and well-regarded A. Trinhcieri.

“Marca” began Saturday morning with considerations that Sharun Jasikevicius will definitely not continue working in the Barcelona organization. It seems logical, since the Lithuanian’s students will return from the final four again without a title and for the second year in a row they did not even make it to the finals, although they were considered favorites in the match against Real. Maybe Shar’s future will be decided by the end of the Spanish league season, or maybe the decision has already been made and Barca will look for another specialist who could lead the team to the top of the Euroleague. If this were to happen, there would be another vacancy for a strategist in the EuroLeague, and here the eyes are clearly focused on Xavier Pascual or What Lakovičius, who has extended his contract with Gran Canaria, the contract can be bought out. Especially since the Las Palmas team will not play in the Euroleague.

There is talk in Spain that the Valencia strategist Alex Mumble you may also lose your job. It is an interesting situation that in the local league, Valencia has 17 wins and will not rise above 8th place, which would mean a duel in the quarter-finals with Barcelona. A. Mumbru’s students can be left without playoffs if Lugo’s “Breogan” loses in the last round, and Murcia’s UCAM presents a surprise and puts the “Barcelona” team on their shoulders. The most realistic is that Valencia will play in the playoffs, but will fall in the first round. If “Valencia” remains in the Euroleague, there is a high probability that a new manager will be sought. coach.

The Greek I.Sfairopoulos and Velimir Perasovičius, who continued to coach the club of the terrorist state from Kazan this season, are waiting for their chance to return to the Euroleague, as well as Aleksandar Djordjevičius, who is mentioned as a candidate to return to the Bologna club.

There are still a lot of unknowns in the puzzle of Euroleague coaches, but everything should be resolved in the next month and the clubs will start making their first big moves.

Kazys Maksvytis at Žalgiris Kaunas, Željko Obradović at Partizan Belgrade, Georgios Bartzokas at Olympiacos Piraeus, Oded Kattash, who extended his contract this week at Maccabi Tel Aviv, TJParker at Villerban ASVEL, Dimitris Itoudis at Istanbul are confident about their place. Fenerbahçe, Ettore Messina – EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, Duško Ivanović – Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, Joan Penarroya – Baskonia Vitoria and Saša Obradović – AS Monaco Monaco.
