Bertram Derthona, Lorenzo Pansa relieved of the role of head coach

Bertram Derthona announces that he has relieved Lorenzo Pansa of his role as head coach of the first team today.

The most heartfelt and sincere thanks go to Lorenzo Pansa for everything he was able to give on and off the field to the entire world of Derthona Basket, in this regard the CEO Marco Picchi spoke on behalf of the entire Board of Directors of the Juventus club: “I want to greet and thank Lorenzo for having accompanied us on a path of growth, satisfaction and sporting results that will never be forgotten and which will remain in the eyes of each of us, symbolically, every time we see the splendid Italian Cup won together with Jesi. His professionalism, his seriousness and his human qualities will remain the heritage of me as a person and of the entire company that I represent today".

The company wishes to send Lorenzo Pansa its most sincere wishes for a career continuation full of satisfactions and further successes.

Thus Lorenzo Pansa: ʺThe path of life is a train, with all its stops. I got on at the Tortona station just over a year ago, and during this journey I met people to whom I have all my respect and thanks, such as Marco Picchi and all the members of the Board of Directors, as well as obviously a man like Luigino Fassino who rarely is encountered in everyday life. It is useless to thank my collaborators today and yesterday, who have put in their utmost effort for me and to achieve the successes achieved together. Unfortunately, today's results are merciless, as are the circumstances and extenuating circumstances, but you know... The risk of the job is taking on all the responsibilities, even those that aren't yours. But getting off the train, I do so with the serenity of someone who has thought day and night about Derthona and the wonderful people who make it up. I do it with the pleasure of having known the world of Lions, and until you're inside you don't know what it means. I do it with affection for the fans who have always supported us, first and foremost the boys from the Bianconera Area. I do it with the pride of having left something that neither time nor circumstances will ever be able to erase: that Cup and those tears of joy that will always remain imprinted in the memory and on the walls of the PalaCamagna. Now it's time to get off the train, saying goodbye to everyone at the next station.
