Marco Legovich is no longer Trieste’s coach

Pallacanestro Trieste has announced its decision not to renew the contract of 30-year-old Marco Legovich, head coach in the recently ended season in which the team was relegated to Serie A2.

“We thank Marco for his work, passion and dedication, as well as for the willingness he has shown in these weeks in which he has waited for a decision of ours that, although suffered, has matured in the context of the new sports project,” said Pallacanestro Trieste President Richard de Meo.

“The choice that we as a society have made today is very difficult for all of us at Pallacanestro Trieste, but it is necessary, and it stems from the fact that we are aware that we are facing a particularly complex challenge in Serie A2. The rebirth of Pallacanestro Trieste must proceed through this transition, and it requires at this stage a head coach who can count on long experience on the bench,” the president commented.

The club is working on this issue and is evaluating a number of both Italian and foreign profiles for the role of coach. The goal is to reach a decision as soon as possible, hopefully in the first week of July.

To Marco Legovich all of Pallacanestro Trieste wishes with great esteem and affection the greatest sporting success: “While this is the right decision, I would like to thank Marco on a personal basis. He was extremely welcoming at the arrival of CSG and I appreciated my relations with him; even now, he shows that he is willing to give everything for the success of the club. He is a special person and has a very bright future,” concluded President de Meo.
