Twenty-two titles, including two in the Euroleagues, and a last championship won in June, against rival Barcelona.
Pablo Laso's track record at the helm of the Real Madrid basketball team is enormous.
Unfortunately for him, he won't be able to improve it.
According to the Spanish press, the technician was dismissed from his post by the leaders of the White House, while he still had one year left on his contract.
His former deputy, Chus Mateo, should take over.
The reason for this separation is due to the health of Pablo Laso.
Victim of a myocardial infarction a month ago, which had prevented him from finishing the season on the bench, the coach would not be able, according to the Madrid leaders quoted by
AS
, to continue to coach the Merengue .
Released from the hospital without sequelae, the one who trained Real Madrid since 2011 would judge, for his part, that he is quite capable of keeping his job.
An office position refused?
According to
AS
, Real Madrid have made several proposals to Pablo Laso to stay at the club, even if he were relieved of his current prerogatives.
Thus, a post in the offices would have been presented to him.
But the technician would have refused it.
Real thus thought to wait until Laso was done with his health concerns to give him back the reins of the team.
Pablo Laso would not have wanted to wait.
