Tony Parker, coach of ASVEL next season?
And if the next stage of reconversion from Tony Parker done… at home? According to Progressthe former manager of Spurs, the current president of ASVEL, would consider becoming the coach of the club from next season, taking over from Pierre Puppetwhose contract would expire at the end of the financial year.
It must be said that Tony Parker has been taking steps towards the “side” for several months now. In the autumn, his appointment as coach of the French U17 team was the first step.
“I talked a lot about this new career with my father. How should I start it? And it was logical for both of us to start with the French national team and the young French national team. So I applied for the position of coach of the French national team under the age of 17. And, as a symbol, on my father’s birthday, October 15, I was called by the French basketball federation and told that I had a job., he said then.
However, the transition from the youth selection to the leading club, especially in the context where ASVEL is looking for stability, is not an easy first coaching experience. Especially since Tony Parker would not be a simple coach, but the president-owner who would take control directly on the field…
At this stage, however, there has been no official confirmation, but Tony Parker was in New York this week, where he was able to receive coaching advice from Mike Brownthe current head coach of the Knicks.
