Change within the Strasbourg club. This Wednesday, via his account Twitter official, the SIG has formalized the arrival of a brand new coach. And the lucky winner is none other than the experienced Italian Luca Banchi (57), also in charge of the selection of Latvia. The Transalpin succeeds, on the bench of the Alsatian club, the young Finn Lassi Tuovi (35), who had been in office since 2020 after taking over from Vincent Collet, coach of the France team. This separation was made “by mutual agreement”.
An arrival commented in particular by Nicolas Alberani, the sports director of the SIG: “ The arrival of Luca Bianchi is a huge opportunity for us. He is a very great coach with an excellent profile and with internationally recognized experience, which has demonstrated his ability to adapt to all situations and in different leagues. The fact that he chose us is also an excellent sign because it proves, despite the situation, the attractiveness of SIG Strasbourg. We are counting on him from the next match against Fos to guide us towards our goals. »

“Aware of the need to give new impetus to the team”
In this same press release formalizing his arrival, Luca Banchi was able to express his joy at the idea of joining such a club: “ I am very honored to associate my name with such a prestigious organization as SIG Strasbourg. I am aware of the need to give new impetus to the team in such a delicate period. I will put all possible efforts and my experience to restore the club to the level that we all know it is. I look forward to sharing the enthusiasm of the SIG Strasbourg supporters and helping the team to be competitive in order to achieve the best possible results. »
Currently, the Strasbourg club is in very great difficulty since it occupies, quite simply, the 18th and last place in the ranking of the French men’s basketball championship after a total of eight days of Betclic Elite already disputed. At present, the record of the SIG is a small victory for also and especially seven defeats.
