Real Madrid Basketball has appointed Pedro Martínez as its new head coach, following the conclusion of Sergio Scariolo’s one-year tenure.
Martínez arrives in the Spanish capital after orchestrating the most successful campaign in Valencia Basket’s history. Under his leadership, Valencia conquered its second Liga ACB championship and secured its first-ever berth in the EuroLeague Final Four. Ironically, their historic European run was halted in the semifinals by Real Madrid.
“_It is an honor. This is an iconic institution and a storied club. Some of the world’s finest players and coaches have been a part of its history. Evidently, it is a source of pride to join. I understand the legacy and will endeavor to give my utmost to live up to the standard of the professionals who have preceded me here_,” said Martínez to Real Madrid TV.
The club will be undergoing a rebuild this summer, with Trey Lyles already on his way out of the team while Mario Hezonja could also be leaving the club, according to reports.
