Varese – Surprise in the Serie A of the basketball championship. Varese Basketballtenth in the standings, coach Johan Roijakkers was sacked “due to conduct not in line with the principles of the club,” reads one
dry note of the Lombard club. L’Openjobmetis was entrusted to Alberto Seravalli. A sensational decision, given that the team, which also returned from the internal knockout with Trieste, had done well under the guidance of the 41-year-old Dutch coach: since he took over from Adriano Vertemati, with the last team, he had struck seven wins and five defeats , bringing Varese back to a relatively quiet area.
Apparently the difficult relationship of the coach with the players it would have spoiled the environment: Guglielmo Caruso and Justin Reyes, in particular, would have been targeted with repeated insultsVaresenews reports, during the timeouts in the match lost against Trieste which would then culminate in a very hard outburst in the locker room at half-time.
For similar reasons, namely verbal excesses, Attilio Caja had already been exonerated in Varese in September 2020. Now for the red and white club the fight to avoid relegation is resumed and the internal challenge with Fortitudo, between two rounds, will probably be decisive.
