Olimpia Milano: Ettore Messina has no doubts about his future
The season of Olimpia Milano came to a bitter end. After having failed the’appointment with the Final Eight of the Euroleague, has also faded the Scudetto dream. Eliminated, in four games, by Virtus Bologna, the biancorossi close the season without even a trophy and with the strong feeling of not having fully exploited its enormous potential.
In the postgame aftermath of the fourth act of the semifinal with Virtus Bologna, Ettore Messina explained how it is his intention to continue coaching the EA7. No revolution at the coaching staff level. Ettore Messina has no intention of stepping aside, indeed there’s already a desire to analyze the why of a season without trophies.
“There are things to start from. Then there is someone who has different plans and something we have already done. We have had good seasons and less good ones. Three championships in a row, this year we made two finals, we didn’t make the Euroleague playoffs, despite 17 wins, and we went out in the playoffs. There will be the recovery of Nebo, there will be many evaluations. The team will be prepared and done with what will be possible to do.”
To a precise question whether next year we will start again with Ettore Messina, the coach answered this way: “As far as I am concerned yes. If Mr. Armani and Dell’Orco want something else, they will say so. We try to do the best we can”.
