Brose Bamberg officially announced that Luca Banchi has been named the team’s new head coach. The 52-year-old coach signed a contract for the remainder of the season that includes an option for the 2018-2019.
Banchi succeeds fellow Italian coach Andrea Trinchieri who parted ways with the club two weeks ago. He returns to EuroLeague following his stint with Olimpia Milano in 2013-2015.
“I know that the team is in a difficult situation. My job will be to improve the team, game by game, and push them forward,” Banchi said.
The new coach of the Bavarian team is expected to make his EuroLeague debut in the upcoming game vs. Olympiacos in Piraeus, Greece.
