One day after the dismissal of Sasa Obradovic, we already know his successor at the head of AS Monaco Basket. And a big name is arriving in the principality: Vassilis Spanoulis!
This is the Serbian media Meridian sport who announced the news, later confirmed by EuroHoops.
Vassilis Spanoulis, a true legend of Greek basketball, has obviously reached an agreement with Monaco to become the new coach of the club, which has just parted ways with Sasa Obradovic following ASM’s defeat against Le Mans this weekend.

Vassilis Spanoulis has been free from any contract since June 2024, he who had not found common ground for an extension with the Peristeri Athens club, despite two good seasons (final of the national cup, third in the championship, qualification for the Final Four of the Champions League, Coach of the Year in the Champions League).
We remind you that Spanoulis is also the coach of the Greek national team. He took Greece to the Paris 2024 Olympics, but failed to advance past the quarterfinals despite the presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
With AS Monaco Basket, Vassilis Spanoulis will rediscover the atmosphere of the EuroLeague, a competition that he won three times during his legendary playing career.
