Fortitudo Bologna coach Jasmin Repesa announced that he’s second stint with the team is over after just one game. The Croatian coach said that he experienced a tachycardia attack in the locker room after being ejected late in the 80 – 81 loss to Reggio Emilia.
“After this match I was sick in the locker room with a tachycardia attack,” Repesa said in the post-game presser after apologizing for his ejection. He then announced that he’s stepping down. “I’ll stop here. Fortitudo is the first true love and my life. I can’t go on anymore. You know that when I make a decision, I don’t change it.”
According to various reports from Italian media, the management of Fortitudo was “surprised” after learning of Repesa’s resignation during the press conference.
