After just one season, it’s over again: Pablo Laso is retiring as coach of FC Bayern’s basketball team for family reasons. Together with the Spaniard, the Munich team managed the double of BBL Cup and championship.
Head coach Pablo Laso has surprisingly left the basketball team of FC Bayern Munich. The 56-year-old Spaniard has asked for the termination of his contract, which runs until 2025, for family reasons, the German champions announced on Friday morning.
“Pablo’s personal decision came as a surprise to us, but we respect him very much as a coach and personality and would like to thank him for his work and great commitment in the past, successful season,” said Managing Director Marko Pesic.
Laso won the double with the Bayern basketball team
The former successful coach of Real Madrid only joined the Munich team a year ago. In his first and only season, he won the double of BBL Cup and championship with Bayern. “We wish Pablo all the best for the future, and not just because of the double win he will always be connected to us,” said Pesic.
The club will provide information about further personnel planning in a timely manner, it said. Pesic is therefore likely to be working hard on the search for a new coach.
