Real Madrid C. F. has decided not to keep Pablo Laso as coach of the first basketball team only and exclusively for medical reasons.
After the heart attack suffered by our coach a few weeks ago, Real Madrid has consulted several doctors and cardiology specialists and all of them have stated that there is a clear risk to his health if he continues to coach the team.
Last week Real Madrid asked Pablo Laso to stop coaching the first team, respecting in full the economic conditions established in the contract, while waiting to see how his physical condition evolved this season and to re-analyze the situation in March or April.
Real Madrid considers that after this acute coronary episode that led our coach to undergo surgery and to the intensive care unit, not taking this decision would be absolutely irresponsible.
The priority for the club is, first and foremost, the health of Pablo Laso out of respect and affection for him.
Real Madrid can understand that this decision has caused sadness in our coach, but nothing, not even Real Madrid, is above anyone’s health, and in this case it is a risk that this institution cannot avoid.
