PE ushskit Girona announced the dismissal of Fotis Katsikaris a few minutes after the difficult defeat he suffered against the newly promoted Lima Coro Irma (81-98). In a duel that could be transcendental in the fight for permanence, the Girondins not only did not lose, but also gave a very bad picture, especially in the first half. In the first half, the clash was already resolved with a resounding 25-57 score.
The club headed by Marc Gasol competes in the Endesa League with a record of two wins and nine losses, the last four in a row against Dreamland Gran Canaria, morabank Andorra, Valencia Basket and this Saturday against Lima Coro Orma. In none of the 11 matches played, the Girondins received less than 80 points, which indicates their defensive fragility.
At his last press conference, after the defeat to the Galician team, Katsikaris apologized for the image presented by his team and called the situation “very frustrating and very complicated”. So much so that it ended up costing him the position.
The Greek coach mentioned that in the summer he bet “on a young and, above all, inexperienced team in the league,” which weighed heavily on the group. What he didn’t have was a rebuke to the players, whom he described as ” good guys, very hardworking and disciplined.”However,” this is not enough because the league is very difficult.”
Now it will be up to someone else to try to change the course of the last classification in the endisa League.
