Eurobasket 2025: Latest news on Sergio Scariolo's succession in Spain

The Eurobasket 2025 will not only set the immediate course for the Spanish National Team, but it will also put an end to one of the most successful stages in its history. Sergio Scariolo, a coach with 15 years at the helm of the national team, faces his final matches before leaving his position. He does so with an extraordinary record: eight medals in major championships, including an Olympic silver and bronze, a World Cup gold, and up to five European medals, four of them gold. A legacy that will be hard to match for the native of Brescia, who currently has no confirmed replacement.

The Spanish Basketball Federation is well aware of the situation. In statements collected by Marca, president Elisa Aguilar explained that the decision regarding the future coach will come once the tournament is over. "We will take the time required because this decision is important," she stated, emphasizing that "the top priority now is Limasol, being close to the team and our current coach, who remains Sergio."

Aguilar stressed that the FEB is in a reflective process, but she insisted that comparisons should not shape Spain's new era. "Just as with players and now with Sergio, it is neither fair nor intelligent to be continuously thinking about Pau, Marc, Ricky... and now Sergio. We are in a new cycle, the players are eager to make their own history, and whoever comes next will be eager to make theirs," she pointed out during that same meeting with the media present at the championship.

Key Moment of Eurobasket 2025

Thus, while Spain prepares for the crucial matches of the group stage of the Eurobasket 2025 against Italy and Greece, the debate over the coaching change is on hold. The focus is on competing at the highest level in Limasol and trying to bid farewell to Scariolo with the dignity that the most decorated coach in Spanish basketball deserves.
