Tony PARKER – President of LDLC ASVEL: ‘Pierric has brought a lot of serenity since the first day he took over. The players love playing for him, the fans love watching the team play, and our results have never been better in the EuroLeague since he took over. It was natural to continue the adventure with him: he is a coach with a future, with strong ideas and a very specialised knowledge of basketball.

Pierric POUPET – HeadCoach of LDLC ASVEL: “I would like to thank all the club management, Tony PARKER, Gaëtan MULLER and all those who made this contract extension possible. I am proud to be part of a great organisation that is ambitious and will remain so. I am happy that they have placed their trust in me and we will do everything possible to ensure a great end to the season’.

This is the club’s statement: Undefeated in the league at Astroballe since taking over, and with a more than encouraging record in the EuroLeague (6 wins and 9 losses), Pierric has convinced all the club’s managers and shareholders with his serenity, precision and lucidity. He will now be able to build for the long term, keeping in mind his main goal at the end of the season: to win his 22nd French championship.
