Vitoria-Gasteiz
The Baskonia Directive Plan A for the 2025/26 season is not called Pablo Laso. Direct contact with other coaches demonstrates, giving another script turn to the initial plan planned in Buesa Arena for next season.
During the weekend, the Barca club has failed to seal an agreement with SASA Obradovic, former Monaco. In addition, its representative is Misko Raznatovic, a person vetoed for years by Baskonia.
At the moment, Luca Banchi is the first option, as Vitoria has been able to be. The Italian coach who will be 60 years old in August will not continue in the Turkish Efes. But he has a contract with the Dastiaia selection, whom he must direct this summer in the Eurobasket.
There is an identical situation to that of 2 summers, when Banchi rejected Baskonia’s proposal so as not to leave the National Team and Peñarroya began the season. The Eurobasket will be from August 27 to September 14, two weeks before the start of the Euroleague.
Therefore, its presence in the Eurobasket would collide with the team’s preseason, which will also begin at the end of August.
Tanteos have also been established with other coaches such as Xavi Pascual, who has left the Zenit of St. Petersburg after 5 complete seasons in Russia.
However, the option that an agreement is not reached with another coach and Pablo Laso begins the season, cannot be discharged. It would not be the first time this happens in Baskonia.
