Bruno Savignani was confirmed as the new coach of Betis Baloncesto. The XOY group opted for this Brazilian coach, with an Italian passport, as a replacement for Javi Carrasco, sentenced this Sunday after falling in Valladolid on Saturday.
The green and white team thus gives a twist to its initial bet of a man of the house for someone with no experience in Spain. Unlike Carrasco, the Brazilian will have an experienced assistant, since he is expected to arrive alongside him Iñaki Martin45-year-old from Gipuzkoa with a past in LEB Plata and LEB Oro. He was a coach Jota Cuspinera’s assistant at Estudiantes (2021-22 season) and between 2019 and 2021 he served as assistant to Argentine Marcelo Nicola at Gipuzkoa Básket.
Savignani is a personal bet for the XOY Group since he does not know the Spanish league. He comes from being an assistant at Strasbourg by Massimo Cancellieri and was also assistant in Pesaro with Jasmin Repesa. Was second coach of a cajismo myth like Alekxandar Petrovic in the Brazilian senior team.
The Croatian coach, with whom Sevillian basketball reached one of its highest levels with the first of its two runners-up finishes in the ACB League in 1996, is “sure” that Savignani, the next coach of Betis Baloncesto, “things They are going to turn out very well” in the Andalusian capital.
“Bruno worked with me for four years as an assistant in the Brazil national team. We both worked very well. He is a great expert on the world of basketball. “Think about basketball 24 hours a day.”, assured Petrovic, who commented that the Italian-Brazilian “connects very well with the players, knows all the existing work methods” and therefore, “is qualified to get Betis out of the situation in which it finds itself now”, penultimate of the LEB Oro with only one win in six days. The Verdiblanco board reported that the election of Savignani is a “decision made in search of improving the sporting results of the organization within the current season of the LEB Oro League.”
Savignani, 41, has a decade of experience as a basketball coach. In 2012 he achieved his first championship by winning the title of the Brazilian National Basketball League (NBB) with the Brasilia Wolves team.
“His strategist profile is based on being a very versatile coach that allows him to form dynamic, attractive teams when playing. and work with collective benefits. His appointment corresponds to the need to make timely decisions that allow us to meet the goals and objectives set this season as part of the board’s commitment to the fans and sponsors,” the club adds in a note.
