Revolution at Virtus Bologna but in the sign of Scariolo
Black Vs coach’s current contract expires in 2024
After entertaining the idea of becoming head coach at the Toronto Raptors, Scariolo is completely focused on Virtus Bologna. Despite a season that ended joylessly, with the honorable defeat against Olimpia Milano in the LBA Finals, the 62-year-old coach is already thinking, together with the club, how to plan for the future.
Scariolo has no plans to go anywhere indeed, faced with the possibility of extending his current contract, he may even be ready to sign. Whatever the case, at the starting ribbons of next season, he will still be leading the Black Vs.
Certainly there will be some important fields at the roster level. Those with existing contracts will, certainly, remain, namely Pajola, Hackett, Shengelia, Mickey, Ojeleye and Bako. Weems has already said goodbye to the environment and so will Teodosic, who, after four years, is ready to return to Red Star, his home. Cordinier’s renewal is being worked on. Abass could also stay. Watch out for Tonut, who, after winning with Milan, could change jersey and become coach Scariolo’s man.
