Panathinaikos announced that Rick Pitino will be the team’s head coach. The Hall Of Fame coach and two-time NCAA champion signed a contract with the Greek club for the remainder of the season.
Pitino arrived in Athens, Greece Wednesday (26/12) afternoon and a few hours later he had his first practice with his new team. While the 66-year-old coach has already talked about the upcoming EuroLeague game against CSKA Moscow, it’s uncertain if he’ll make his debut with Panathinaikos in that match.
Pitino replaced Xavi Pascual at the helm of the Greens.
