After reaching a European semi-final for the first time, the Niners Chemnitz celebrate their successful coach Rodrigo Pastore. “Sometimes you make a move like that once a century. Then something can happen,” said the managing director of the basketball Bundesliga club, Steffen Herold, to MDR. «I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a statue in the city one day. He deserves that.”
The victory in the quarter-final second leg of the Europe Cup in Zaragoza was the Niners’ 200th competitive game win under Pastore. In total, the Argentine was on the sidelines in 333 games. “You just have to congratulate the people involved back then for managing to get Rodrigo here,” said Herold. Pastore has been a trainer in Chemnitz since 2015. He led the club from the second division to the top of the Bundesliga.
Chemnitz meets Bilbao in the semi-finals. The first leg will take place on March 27th in the Basque Country. A week later in Chemnitz the decision about the finals will be made. «It’s a competition in which you can win a title and that’s the spirit in our team. How often do you have the chance in your life?” asked Herold.
