It is confirmed that Pierric Poupet, who is in discussions with Limoges, will not continue as ASVEL’s coach next season. According to Le Progrès, club president Tony Parker, who is also set to make his coaching debut with the France U17 team this summer, will be taking over the coaching position.
“Tony Parker, whose aspirations for the NBA Europe project are stronger than ever, will therefore begin his coaching career at the highest European level with an extensive staff (Jo Gomis, Antoine Chevrier, Dounia Issa, Bryan George, Old Lo…) which will include Charles Kahudi, Florent Pietrus, and Vincent Collet. A boosted payroll will also be in place to build a top-tier roster.”
The newspaper further reports that after four seasons with Monaco, Matthew Strazel (1.82m, 32 years old) may be making a return to the club where he began his career and won French championships in 2021 and 2022.
