Our team put up a great fight despite the mistakes that are inherent in a difficult and intense season and series. Unfortunately, we could not take advantage of some small details that could have turned the game in our favor, especially in the last minutes.<\/p>\n<p>We also had problems due to some injuries; I believe that Elijah&#8217;s injury seriously affected our potential. On the other hand, we must also accept that the opponent deserved the victory, and our team fought until the end.<\/p>\n<p>From my perspective, this match was my last match with Anadolu Efes. I would like to thank everyone\u2014first of all for giving me this opportunity, and then for the warm welcome I received during this short time in Istanbul. I truly felt at home. Everyone, especially the technical staff, did their best to help me do my job in the best possible way. This was a factor that accelerated the whole process, not only from a basketball standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>My only regret is that we could not achieve the success we dreamed of. But once again, I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart and wish the Anadolu Efes basketball community all the best in the future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"tr\">Anadolu Efes Spor Kul\u00fcb\u00fc olarak Say\u0131n Luca Banchi ile yollar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 ay\u0131rm\u0131\u015f bulunuyoruz.<\/p>\n<p>Kendisine kul\u00fcb\u00fcm\u00fcze verdi\u011fi emekler i\u00e7in te\u015fekk\u00fcr eder, bundan sonraki kariyeri i\u00e7in ba\u015far\u0131lar dileriz.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Coach! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OzsN9LuWMP\">pic.twitter.com\/OzsN9LuWMP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Anadolu Efes SK (@AnadoluEfesSK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnadoluEfesSK\/status\/1934219351143403968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Italian coach led the team to 12 wins in 20 EuroLeague games and 17 victories in 24 BSL contests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":446508,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[315,199],"tags":[],"rumors":[407],"typology":[185],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-446509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bsl","category-euroleague","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-official"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
