Sergio Scariolo had a disappointing season at Real Madrid, but he initially received the confidence of club president Florentino Perez. However, “Marca” reports a twist in his situation.
Sergio Scariolo ended the season without a single trophy, which led to heavy criticism from many and placed him on the verge of leaving the club.
A lot depended on the club’s presidential elections at Real Madrid, and Florentino Perez reportedly “pardoned” him, giving the Italian coach another chance. However, according to the same source, there has now been a “turnaround,” and the former Virtus coach could still leave the “Royal Club” bench.
It is claimed that the new-old head of the basketball section, Juan Carlos Sanchez, is pushing for Scariolo’s dismissal and is proposing potential successors in Pablo Laso and Dimitris Itoudis.
An outcome of a meeting between the two is expected soon, after which the fate of the Italian coach will be known. If he is dismissed, he would be entitled to a €5,000,000 severance package from Real Madrid.
