Tony Parker wants to start a new career as a basketball coach, aiming for the NBA.
Tony Parker, a shareholder of ASVEL Villeurbanne since 2009 and the club's president since 2014, is ready to take a new direction in basketball. According to L'Equipe, the French legend wants to return to the court—not as a player, but as a coach.

Now 43, Parker has begun working toward his State Diploma in coaching and already admits his ultimate ambition: "My dream is to coach in the NBA."
He has even started putting his skills into practice. At the Tony Parker Academy, the U15 team has reportedly been led in training sessions not by their official coach, Bastien Jacquillard, but by Parker himself.
Parker retired in 2019 after a glittering playing career. He won four NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs, was selected to six All-Star Games, and played 1,254 NBA games across 18 seasons.
