Barcelona officially announced that head coach Sito Alonso has been fired.
The Blaugrana are having one of their worsts seasons in recent history and it was decided that Alonso will be replaced.
According to the press release the contract of the coach is terminated and the club wishes him best of luck and thanked him for the work he had done.
Barcelona has a 7-14 record in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and practically had missed the train of the playoffs. Also in the Spanish Liga Endesa, the club has a 12-7 record, which is good enough for a tie in the third spot.
However, on Sunday Barcelona was defeated by Baskonia (96-72) and this result ended up being the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Alonso had signed a 2+1 year deal last summer, he was supposed to build continuity and had a long-term plan, but nothing worked on the court.
Barcelona B head coach Alfred Juble will act as the interim coach.
