The club informed the coach this Monday of the decision to terminate your contract, explained Baskonia through a press release, issued just a few minutes before another in which it announced the arrival of Ivanovic.
Peñarroya has directed the Baskonista team a total of 83 games, 39 in the Euroleague and 44 in the Endesa League.
After failing to reach the semi-finals even Copa del Rey ni de League ACB last year, but playing high-scoring basketball, both parties rethought their future together in the summer. In the end the coach continued at the beginning of the current campaign.
This season he had played seven ACB League games with a balance of four wins and three losses and five in the Euroleague with a background of one win and four losses. After suffering several injuries, the team has suffered five setbacks in a row.
Baskonia thanks Joan Peñarroya for his work and professionalism throughout the time he has led the Baskonia team and wished him “The best of luck both professionally and personally.”
In his place, Dusko Ivanovic will occupy the Vitorian bench. Its about most successful coach in the history of Baskonia, who takes the reins of the Barça squad until the end of the current season.
