Biennial for the Italian coach, the official statement will be released soon after the yes from the president of the Fip Petrucci: debut in the Euroleague against Virtus Bologna on Friday
Last February he said no to Panathinaikos. “My daughter Gala was born a few days ago, how can I leave my wife Tanja? I thank you but I can’t”, said Gianmarco Pozzecco, after having received the OK from Federbasket, to the managers of the Greek club. This time it’s done. No more Greece, direction France. In a few hours the Italian coach will become the coach of Villeurbanne where former NBA star Tony Parker, co-owner of the club, sacked his brother TJ after a series of embarrassing defeats.
Role
—
In the Euroleague the record is four defeats out of four, in the championship the position in the standings is sixth, with five victories and three defeats, including the one (at home) against the undefeated league leaders Monaco. Gordon Herbert, coach of the recent World Champion Germany, was called to replace TJ Parker, but the Canadian with Finnish citizenship did not receive approval from the German federation, which was not inclined to part-time work. Here then comes the name of Gianmarco Pozzecco who, before speaking with the French club, asked for the approval of the possible hiring of Gianni Petrucci, receiving an affirmative response, even if the FIP president never liked the part-time job. For Pozzecco there is a guaranteed two-year contract (this season plus next), the official press release is on the way. The debut is scheduled for Friday at 8pm, when the French will host Virtus Bologna for the fifth day of the Euroleague regular season.
