Words

Nicola Alberani, sports director of the SIG

“I am very happy that Massimo has decided to join us. It was the best option in order to work in the continuity of what we have done so far. He knows the championship and also has experience on the European scene. He is a coach who has a very clear vision of what he wants. I hope he will have a real impact on our organization and that together we will build a team that will fight every day and meet the expectations of our supporters.”

Massimo Cancellieri, new coach of SIG

“Being a SIG Strasbourg coach means a lot to me and represents a step towards the top level. I have been following Strasbourg and its development for many years and I am delighted to be part of this historic club. I come here wanting to demonstrate my passion for basketball and I want it to be felt in the identity of the team (…) Taking over from Luca is an honor for me. I want to continue the good work he did last season.”

Martial Bellon, Chairman of the Management Board

“We have decided to continue to trust the “Italian industry”. Nicola and Massimo know each other well. During our discussions, the coach showed a real desire to invest in Strasbourg. We will continue in the same way the work started with Luca. Arrived in Strasbourg this Sunday, Massimo Cancellieri will quickly get to work to build the team for next season. I would like to point out that his presence throughout the summer, apart from a few vacation days, will be a first for the SIG for a long time, because he is not involved in an international competition”.
