Tony Parker, the president of French Asvel, spoke about the team’s coach Gianmarco Pozzecco and the reasons for hiring him.
The president of Asvel, in an interview with Marca, evaluates the progress of the coach who also leads the Italian national team. Tony Parker has always had a soft spot for the joker Gianmarco Pozzecco, a unique character both when he played and now again in the role of a coach.
“That’s what we needed, we needed an electric shock, and Pozzecco gave it to us,” Parker doesn’t hide his satisfaction.
For the former San Antonio legend, parting ways with his brother TJ was not easy, but the arrival of coach Pozzecco has proven to be a fortunate choice.
“I have excellent memories of Pozzecco as a player, he always played with great energy, immense talent, gave it his all,” said Parker, adding:
“We wanted someone capable of connecting with the players, and he’s the kind of coach who enjoys this aspect, and so far, it’s going well for him.”
In the French championship, Villeurbanne is in second place alongside Paris, just one win behind the leader Monaco.
