Pallacanestro Reggiana announces that it has reached an agreement for the extension of the contract of head coach Dimitris Priftis until the end of the 2025/2026 season.
Greek from Athens, born in 1968, Priftis arrived at Pallacanestro Reggiana last summer and during his first season in the red and white he led the team to fifth place in the standings, achieving both qualification for the Playoffs and for the Final Eight of the Italian Cup .
These are the words of president Veronica Bartoli: “From the first moment we met coach Priftis, last summer, we clearly expressed to him our desire, as a club, to start a path that was not short-term, but which would lead to the construction of a cycle. We are therefore extremely pleased to continue together with a coach who, in addition to the great technical and group management qualities shown, I would also like to underline how he has “married” the city and the community of Reggio Emilia, learning our language and fitting in perfectly with the inside the dynamics of this square. To all intents and purposes I now consider Dimitris to be an “adopted Reggio Emilia” and we are grateful to share our ambitions with him.”
Coach Dimitris Priftis commented thus: “My first year here corresponded with a magnificent season for me, both as a coach and personally. I really appreciated the cooperation that was created with all the people in the company and also living in Reggio Emilia. I felt love for the team and the city and I am truly grateful that this journey will continue. I want to thank the ownership and management for the support and trust they have shown towards me and obviously for giving me the opportunity to continue to be part of this Club. We must have faith in our work and, above all, we must do it together, as a large group, to build another season of satisfaction.”
