Nicola left Rytas, Pacesas is signing

By Eurohoops Team/ info@eurohoops.net

Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius dismissed head coach Marcelo Nicola and is ready to hire Tomas Pacesas.

Nicola joined the club in February and coached it in the Eurocup Eighthfinals and helped it reach both the Lithuanian League and cup finals, but it lost both times against archrival Zalgiris Kaunas. His contract was renewed following the season, however after a 1-4 start in the Eurocup, management decided to go in a new direction.

Tomas Pacesas is ready to take his place. Meanwhile, the assistant coach Aurinas Jasilionis will coach the team in the Eruocup game against Besiktas.
