SIG Strasbourg and coach Lassi Tuovi parted ways after a sluggish start to the season. The French team has only one victory in the national championship (1-7), while it does a little better in the Basketball Champions League (2-1).
“After the departure of Vincent Collet, we took the risk of trusting Lassi Tuovi for his first experience as head coach and the first two seasons were very satisfactory in terms of results. Unfortunately, the results of the start of the season do not correspond to the expectations of the club or those of the coach. Therefore, we have taken the decision, by mutual agreement, to stop our collaboration in the interest of the club. I thank him for his investment and wish him the best for the rest of his career.“, declared Nicola Alberani, the sporting director of Strasbourg.
Touvi said he was very proud of what has been achieved in France and in the Basketball Champions League since 2018.
“SIG Strasbourg and the city of Strasbourg will always have a special place in my heart. I would like to thank above all the club, the President, and all the employees, but also the players and the staff with whom I worked and of course our fantastic supporters for the love and the support they gave me . I am very proud of what we have achieved in France and in the Basketball Champions League since 2018. No matter where life takes me next, I will never forget that SIG Strasbourg welcomed me. I wish the best for the club in the future and I’m sure we’ll meet again. .” said Lassi Tuovi.
