Virtus Bologna announced the firing of Sergio Scariolo.
Also his assistant Andrea Diana has been dismissed from his position.
The coach’s statements released to the press on 13 September 2023, which follow those released during the end-of-season press conference on 27 June 2023, unfortunately undermine the serenity and enthusiasm of the Virtus environment and of the group that is preparing to face the first official commitments of the new sporting season with the aim of achieving important results at both a national and international level.
The owner of Virtus Bologna, Massimo Zanetti, was very irritated by the words of Sergio Scariolo in a press conference so much that he assessed the dismissal, writes La Repubblica.
The situation remains suspended, adds La Repubblica.
Scariolo still has a year of contract, so the dismissal would involve legal battles considering that the employment of the coach, always according to the Republic, is about one million euros plus benefit.
The new regulation prevents the Blazers and Lillard from agreeing for him to stay away from the team while Portland waits for a trade offer that it thinks to be acceptable, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, a former Nets executive. It wasn’t apparent whether either party was interested in going down that road, but Marks says it’s no longer an option. The NBA will intervene and say that it will fine you and that fine will be large if Portland and Lillard decide that we’re going to shut you down, according to Marks. We’ll watch how things unfold with James Harden and Damian Lillard (who has asked Philadelphia for a trade). . The practice of benching a player who may be engaged in trade negotiations will no longer be practiced.

Valencia Basket is reportedly close to signing Serbian point guard Stefan Jovic for the rest of the season. The move comes as a response to the physical issues plaguing Icelandic player Martin Hermannsson.
Jovic, who recently won a silver medal with Serbia in the World Cup and will turn 33 in November, initially renewed his contract with Casademont Zaragoza earlier this summer. However, his contract includes an exit clause that will likely facilitate the move to Valencia. While the signing is not yet finalized, Jovic is the chosen option for Valencia.

Is a EuroLeague team interested in Iffe Lundberg? Yes, according to today’s Resto del Carlino newspaper. “Key day for Lundberg postponed,” headlines Carlino. Subtitle: “The Dane could leave, but for now chooses jersey number 1.” This refers to the jersey numbers officially announced by the club yesterday.
So, something is still happening around Iffe Lundberg, according to the Bologna newspaper. The agency has informed Virtus Bologna of a potential opportunity that is yet to be fully developed.
The club is therefore postponing any final decisions until next week. If sold, Virtus Bologna would receive a buyout while also saving on a hefty salary; otherwise, both parties could extend the Danish player’s contract and spread out the salary.
Nic Moore has announced his retirement at 30.
The guard has played in Europe with Brindisi, Nanterre, Virtus Roma, Chalons-Reims, Benfica, Boulazac, Dabrowa Gornicza.
He will be assistant coach at Melissa High School.
Manisa strengthens the backcourt with the signing of James Anderson.
The experienced guard penned a one-year deal.
Anderson spent last season in Spain with UCAM Murcia (8.9 PPG, 5 RPG, 1.6 APG between ACB and BCL).
The time for Nemanja Bjelica and Nick Calathes with Fenerbahce has come to an end. The general manager of the Istanbul club, Derya Yannier, stated to FB TV: “We have communicated to both Bjelica and Calathes and their managers that we are not considering them in our plans for this year.”
Both players have a contract signed with Fenerbahce for the next season and have begun training with the team. Bjelica played only seven games in the Euroleague last season due to a calf injury, while Calathes finished with an average of 8.2 points and 5.1 assists.

Runa Moscow announced the arrivals of Aleksa Radanov and Cameron Young.
The 25-year-old Serbian forward spent the 2022-23 season in Greece with Peristeri BC (5.9 PPG, 3.3 RPG).
Young last year produced 12.4 points in 23 minutes per game in G League with Team Ignite.
Both players signed an agreement for the upcoming season.
During the interview given to Radio Nettuno Bologna Uno, the CEO of Virtus Bologna, Luca Baraldi, and the GM, Paolo Ronci, also discussed Toko Shengelia, who was the subject of many transfer rumors this summer.
Baraldi: “Shengelia has always given 200% for Virtus and will continue to do so in the future. Anyone who doubts this does not know him or us. It was not a matter of money; if Virtus had wanted to capitalize on Shengelia, we would have accepted a significant buyout offer that we received. But we believe he should be one of the leaders of our project.”
Ronci: “EuroLeague has reiterated that for a player under contract, one must contact the home club. We have only firmly reaffirmed our stance to protect our work and the image of the club.”
