Wins by 26 and gets kicked out: Israel Gonzalez in history despite himself

Clamorous turnaround in Trieste, where the day after the clear victory against Napoli, crushed 110-84, came the exoneration for coach Israel Gonzalez, who was relieved of his duties with immediate effect. In his place has been promoted Francesco Taccetti, who then assumes the role of head coach.

Ballacanestro Trieste justified in clear words the reason for the Spanish coach’s dismissal: “The decision to promote Coach Taccetti stems from the priority of ensuring continuity in the technical project developed over the past few seasons, placing the utmost trust in the competence and natural leadership skills of Coach Taccetti (and our staff), who has long enjoyed the respect and esteem of the entire red and white roster. Our confidence in the team remains unwavering. We are ready to face the challenges ahead with enthusiasm to continue pursuing our goals”.

“Coach Gonzalez has helped guide the team to prestigious victories, qualifying for the Italian Cup and reaching the Round of 16 in the BCL, milestones in the journey this season– however, it was stressed -. Despite this, the team has failed to establish the character and playing identity necessary to express its full potential, achieving results below expectations”.

“The club sincerely thanks Israel for the dedication, impeccable professionalism and outstanding human values that have characterized his work since his first day in Trieste, wishing him and his family the best successes for the future”, the note ends.
