Savo Vucevic is no longer the coach of Chalon, penultimate in the French championship with only two victories in nine days. The Burgundian club announced the suspension of the Franco-Montenegrin on Thursday afternoon in a laconic press release.
Ironically, it was against JL Bourg – which he led from Pro B to the Eurocup and where he spent five seasons (between 2016 and 2021) – that Savo Vucevic coached his team for the last times.
That evening, November 16, after another setback (86-93), he declared: “I don't want to deal with refereeing. I want to take care of my team if I'm still here. We will have to be better than all the obstacles that may come our way. » Sentences full of meaning in hindsight.
Dean of LNB coaches (67 years old), will Savo Vucevic want to take on a new challenge? Nothing is less certain because he had already taken a sabbatical year after leaving JL Bourg three and a half years ago. In any case, the timing chosen by Elan Chalon to suspend its coach raises questions two days before a trip to Cholet, while the clubs are coming out of an international break.
