He announced it himself on his X/Twitter account. Two years after announcing his retirement as a player, and four years after his last match played with Asvel, here is Alexis Ajinça (35 years old) again… as coach!
“I have accepted a new opportunity with the Wizards’ G-League team, the Capital City Go-Go. This is going to be my first coaching experience. I can not wait. »
The former pivot of the French team, crowned European champion in 2013, therefore returns to the fold of the Great League, in his anteroom with the Go-Go, the team affiliated with the Wizards, where he will be assistant to Cody Toppert, former Suns assistant coach in 2018/19.
Five years after his last adventure in the NBA, with the Pelicans, Alexis Ajinça will discover another world, that of coaching where he will probably take care of interior players. In this new challenge, he has the advantage of having already been in the development league as a player, particularly during his young years in Charlotte.
