Chaos at Monaco Basket: Spanoulis still away from the team
The Principality of Monaco is trying to speed up its intervention, but for Monaco Basket the situation remains complicated. The team effectively finds itself without a head coach today: Vassilis Spanoulis is elsewhere, not in Monte Carlo with the rest of the group, even though he is technically still the team’s coach.
The Greek coach missed Saturday’s game against Cholet Basket in the French league and will also not be present tonight for the cup semifinal against Nanterre 92. The report comes from BeBasket. For the weekend game, the official “excuse” was illness, but it remains to be seen what explanation will be given for today’s absence.
In reality, it appears that Spanoulis submitted his resignation after the defeat against Fenerbahçe Beko. It is still unclear whether he will return for Thursday’s game against Olympiacos B.C., valid for Round 31 of the EuroLeague.
In addition to Spanoulis’ absence, Nikola Mirotić will not play against Nanterre due to an injury, while Daniel Theis is also unavailable for personal reasons. This leaves Kevarrius Hayes as the team’s only available big man.
