The Bundesliga basketball team Syntainics MBC has to look for a new coach again. Predrag Krunic made use of an exit clause and thus prematurely terminated his contract with the Weißenfels team, which runs until 2025. The MBC announced this on Thursday. Krunic will move to a Japanese club after paying a transfer fee. The 56-year-old confidently led the MBC to stay in the league this season.

It is the second time that the Bosnian-Serbian coach has left the MBC, after he coached the club in 2015/2016 and then moved to Bonn to the league rivals. In February he played his 500th game as head coach in the Bundesliga against his long-time club Telekom Baskets Bonn (1998 to 2005, 2016 to 2019).
“My decision is not a decision against the Syntainics MBC, but a decision for my personal future,” said Krunic and added: “We have all achieved our goals, including me personally, after my first commitment in 2016 felt unfinished.”
Managing director Martin Geissler regrets his departure: “We would have loved to continue working together, but we understand that he has to accept the lucrative offer from abroad.” The club would like to announce a successor at the beginning of June.
