We analyze all the latest market news in today’s recap. We will talk about the future of one of the best European coaches, namely Xavi Pascual, but also about Iffe Lundberg and Will Clyburn. Let’s delve into all the most important news of the last few hours together.
Pascual, agreement with Zenit
One of the most important coaches on the European scene and until now a free agent could soon have his bench back. We are talking about Xavi Pascual, very often compared to Euroleague teams (for example Barcelona before Penarroya) in recent weeks. Well, the Spanish coach he will most likely remain at Zenit. In fact, the parties have agreed on almost all the details of the new contract, and official information could soon arrive. Pascual has been coaching the St. Petersburg team since 2020, but in the last two seasons he has not been able to play in the Euroleague due to the exclusion of Russian teams from the competition.
Sassari strikes again
There Dinamo Sassari he doesn’t stop anymore and continues to announce purchases. The latest official announcement, at Banco di Sardegna, concerned the hiring of Brian Fobbs. American guard born in 1998, Fobbs played in the BCL with Bonn last season, also recording 13.7 points with 39% from three in the German league. Dinamo thus ensures the performance of a player who is at the height of his development, but who already has two European experiences and an important participation in the BCL.
Lundberg says hello
We’ve been talking about it for a while now, but now it’s become official: Iffe Lundberg leaves Virtus Bologna. The Dane bids farewell to the Bianconeri colors after two seasons. The first was experienced with many difficulties under the guidance of Scariolo, the second “of revenge” with the many decisive baskets scored and Banchi on the bench. Lundberg said goodbye to Bologna on his social channels, and now it will be very interesting to find out who his next team will be. Among the clubs most interested, Partizan. Below are the words of affection written by Lundberg on his Instagram:
Dear Bologna fans, thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. The amount of support you have shown me over the past two years has been amazing, and I am grateful for it. Through the ups and downs you have always had my back, continuing to cheer for me, believe in me and I will forever thank you for that!
I am very happy to have had the opportunity to live and play in Bologna. Being able to feel the love for the game and the team from people is something that lives up to the expectations of when I first heard about Basket City. Experiencing Italian cuisine, climate and life is something my family and I have truly enjoyed.
I want to thank the club, the coaches, all the staff and especially my teammates. You guys pushed me every single day to become a better version of myself, to become a better friend and teammate on and off the court. I love you, and I will always fondly remember all the good and bad moments we shared.
The time has come for our paths to separate, but I will always feel like a “Virtussino”. Thanks for all!
Love each other again!
Clyburn leaves Efes
Will Clyburn officially leavesAnadolu Ephes. Also in this case the farewell seemed to be coming any time soon, and now the Turkish club has announced it through its social channels. The American now becomes another valuable piece on the European free agent market, with many teams interested in snapping up one of the best wingers the Euroleague has to offer.
Reggio, the renovations continue
Renovations continue at home Reggiana Basketball. Yesterday the red and white announced the extension of coach Priftis until 2026, and today they announced the renewal of Lorenzo Uglietti, also until 2026. The key word, therefore, is to continue the technical project started last year for Coldebella&co. It remains to be seen whether UNAHOTELS will be able to retain what is probably the most valuable piece on the roster, that is Langston Galloway. The competition for the American is high, but the company is banking on his confirmation and that of Tarik Black despite the various offers.
