Ranking the 16 head coaches in the LBA means comparing very different profiles. There are coaches with decades of experience, emerging talents, specialists in avoiding relegation and coaches accustomed to competing for trophies.
To build our Power Ranking, we considered Serie A achievements, individual awards, performance over the last five seasons, consistency of results and the level of the teams coached. We also looked at each coach’s ability to exceed expectations, manage difficult situations and maximize the talent available to them.
Here is the final ranking.
16. Alessandro Rossi – Aquila Trento
Rossi achieved important results with Italy’s youth national teams, but his first LBA experience ended with his dismissal at Scafati, followed by another dismissal at Treviso. Trento represents a major opportunity to prove that he can compete at the highest level of Italian basketball.
15. Alessandro Ramagli – Scaligera Verona
A veteran of Italian basketball and a true Serie A2 specialist. The relegation suffered during his most recent experience with Verona, together with several difficult seasons, puts him lower in the ranking compared with the other coaches.
14. Francesco Taccetti – Pallacanestro Trieste
He made his LBA debut as an interim coach and guided Trieste to the playoffs. His impact was positive, but one season is not enough to rank him higher just yet. Now, he will have to prove himself from the beginning of the season.
13. Marcelo Nicola – Treviso Basket
He was called in twice during the season and secured two saves that initially appeared extremely difficult, if not impossible. Nicola has proven his ability to handle emergencies. Now, he will have to show that he can also build a project starting from the summer preparation.
