Legend with the French national team, icon with the San Antonio Spurs, shareholder and then president of ASVEL. What’s next for Tony Parker, at 43 years of age?
Apparently, as he told L’Equipe, the newest dream for him is to “coach in the NBA”, entering a new stage of his professional career.
As the French newspaper reveals, the former San Antonio Spurs playmaker is beginning the process of obtaining the State Diploma already this year, in 2025.
This morning, at the Tony Parker Academy, the U15 squad was reportedly trained by the 43-year-old, and not by their coach, Bastien Jacquillard.
However, down the line, the dream is to coach in the NBA, following the steps of other European head coaches in the league, such as Jordi Fernandez, Tuomas Iisalo, or Darko Rajakovic.
Becoming one of ASVEL’s shareholders in 2009, he took the role of the club’s President in 2014, retiring from basketball at the end of the 2018-19 season after spending one year at the Charlotte Hornets.
