Mythical coach of Spain, Sergio Scariolo is also the coach of Virtus Bologna, and for the 3rd year in a row, his training begins tomorrow the final of the Italian championship against Olimpia Milan. It is undoubtedly for this reason that we do not yet know the name of Nick Nurse’s successor to the Raptors, and the Italian technician has confirmed that discussions are underway.
“I cannot comment on a process that is still ongoing” recognizes Scariolo. “But I can and I want to express my gratitude to Virtus and Toronto for the understanding and flexibility they have shown with regard to the common interests that have emerged during this week of contacts”.
If the Lega final is the only obstacle following the discussions, we do not see what could prevent Sergio Scariolo from taking over from Nick Nurse, whose assistant he was before returning to Italy. It should be remembered that the highest leaders of the Raptors made the trip to meet him.
