MBC parts ways with head coach Bjorn Harmsen.
After the important victory of the SYNTAINICS MBC last Wednesday against RASTA Vechta, there was a public conflict. Björn Harmsen denounced individual players by media. In addition, he also addressed the club’s management level and called for consequences. As a result, there was a break between the club, team and head coach. The club made this decision – like all far-reaching personnel decisions – in unanimity with all club committees and main sponsor PURAGLOBE. The SYNTAINICS MBC is therefore looking for a new coach who should take over at the start of the training camp if possible.
MBC is in last position in BBL with 2 wins over 18 games
