The divorce Sergio Scariolo – Virtus Bologna, soon before the judges? According to Spanish sports media Relevo, this is taking the path. The Italian coach would consider taking legal action against his former club which landed him a few days before the resumption of the season.
In question, the comments made a few days ago by the owner of Virtus Bologna, Massimo Zanetti, in reaction to this dismissal. He criticized his former technician for his past exchanges with the Raptors and Real Madrid, “ while he was still under contract with Virtus. When Scariolo met with the Raptors and Real Madrid, he treated us like a second division team. »
If the coach himself confirmed, last June, his contacts with the Canadian NBA franchise, where he was an assistant to Nick Nurse, no meeting would have taken place with the Spanish club, where he played at the beginning of the 2000s, according to Relevo. However, Mundo Deportivo has stated the opposite last May.
At the same time, the Euroleague coaches union issued a press release in which he denounces a referral making “ proof of an unprecedented lack of respect towards a great professional who has coached at the highest level for many years, since he is an Olympic finalist, European champion and world champion “.
“ Every contract involves obligations and responsibilities but also rights between the two parties and this is why we expect Virtus Bologna to fulfill its obligations towards Sergio Scariolo. We stand with our member and will support them in any way necessary ”, displays this entity, created to protect the rights and “ prestige » of coaches after a major wave of layoffs (seven in three months) after the start of the 2018/19 season.
