Real Madrid has officially parted ways with head coach Chus Mateo after three seasons during which he secured six titles, including one European Cup, two Liga ACB championships, one Copa del Rey, and two Spanish Super Cups. Despite having one year remaining on his contract, Mateo's departure was confirmed as immediate and by mutual agreement, with no new destination announced for the coach at this time. The club has appointed Sergio Scariolo as the new head coach on a contract extending until 2028. Scariolo, who is currently the head coach of the Spanish national basketball team, will join Real Madrid after completing his duties at the EuroBasket 2025 tournament. This marks Scariolo's return to Real Madrid after 23 years, beginning his second stint with the club. The Italian coach announced that EuroBasket 2025 will be his final tournament leading the Spanish national team, describing his departure as rapid and almost convulsive. The transition reflects Real Madrid's strategic decision to bring back an experienced coach with a proven track record at both national and club levels.
