The appearance of SERGIO SCARIOLO At the headquarters of Iberia it was scheduled to offer the List of players summoned For the next Eurobasket. The coach gave it and explained some aspects related to the selection and appointment in Cyprusin the group stage, and in Latviain the final phase, in which Spain puts into play the defense of its continental throne.
But before so much media noise in recent days produced by the rumors of its possible arrival at Real Madridthe coach ended up launching a bomba (Expected, because there was talk of it on the eve, but pump after all in the words of the coach): announced that it will not continue beyond the Eurobasket with the selectionthat is, it will cut its collaboration with the Feb, with which it has been linked from 2015 in its second stage (the first was from 2009 to 2012).
“The Eurobasket will be the last competitive moment with the selection“The coach said once he appointed the 15 chosen on his list. During the rest of his appearance before the media and before some questions related to his future, Scariolo preferred to postpone at all times any response in this regard. He only talked about the selection and the imminent continental event.
Shortly after the announcement of Scariolothe president of the Spanish Basketball Federation, Elisa Aguilar, He wanted to talk about his coach and what he just left: “Sergio asked me to meet and told me that the time had come to be an absolute coach. I understood and I perfectly understand that with his figure and his service sheet he has earned the time and the opportunity to decide when he wanted to leave the bench of the national team. If it would continue with us for me, but I know and respect the moments. He is the best coach of all time. “
The announcement of the coach, done without a doubt to try to stop that noise and the many speculations, caused others. If Scariolo leaves the selection on September 15which is when the Eurobasket ends, it will be to take THE BANQUILLO DEL MADRIDnow that he has no tenant in the face of dismissal, not officialized by Madrid, of Chus Mateo. The arrival of Italian to the white bench, was an open secret.
A desire that comes from afar
Scariolo was one of the desired not now, but in the middle of this season and even last year. So, on none of those occasions it could be given, but Now it seems that the Italian coach has been seduced by the white teamwho will return after His passage from 1999 to 2002precisely when a deep change in its managerial positions in the basketball section will be produced in Madrid.
Madrid will have to negotiate with Febbecause there is a contract in force, although the Federation will not put problems upon exit and, of course, it is already thinking of A SCARIOLO SUCCESSOR To face the classification windows for the World Cup, the World Cup tournament itself and close the Olympic cycle in Los Angeles. And, of course, prepare the Eurobasket 2029 That will be played in Madrid.
