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 set to make his coaching debut with the French U17 team this summer, will be taking over the coaching position.
“Tony Parker, who harbors ambitions for NBA Europe, will thus embark on his coaching career at the highest European level with a star-studded staff (Jo Gomis, Antoine Chevrier, Dounia Issa, Bryan George, Old Lo…) which will include Charles Kahudi, Florent Pietrus, and Vincent Collet. A boosted payroll is also anticipated, enabling the construction of a top-tier squad.”
The newspaper further reports that after four seasons with Monaco, Matthew Strazel (1.82 m, 32 years old) might be making a return to the club where he began his career and achieved French championship titles in 2021 and 2022.
