With the presence of a new coach, Openjobmetis Varese, the club in which Luis Scola works as sports manager, will try tomorrow to lift the discreet image that it exhibits in the Italian Basketball League (Legabasket) when it faces Reyer Venezia.
The match, corresponding to the 14th. date, it will be played at the Enerxenia Arena in Varese, from 8:30 p.m. in Italy (4:30 p.m. in Argentina).
The team where the Argentinian Scola (Olympic champion with the Albiceleste team in Athens 2004) has worked as Sports Director since the beginning of the season is having a very discreet campaign (3-10) and occupies the last place in the table.
In fact, during the week the former coach, Adriano Vertemati, was replaced by his successor, the 41-year-old Dutchman Johan Roijakkers.
The disagreement of the Varese fans, a team accustomed to being a protagonist not only locally but also continentally, was made clear in recent days, when anonymous supporters hung a banner that read: “Change of coach; leaders now spit blood and save the category”, according to the specialized site ‘Sportando’.
In Reyer Venezia, Bahiense forward Bruno Cerella (ex-Pueyrredón) will not play, affected by an annoyance.
