A New Era for German Basketball: Who Will Succeed Gordon Herbert?

As the German basketball team says goodbye to Gordon Herbert, the search for his successor has begun. The Deutsche Basketball Bund (DBB) is set to announce the new national coach on Thursday, but the question on everyone’s mind is: who will it be?

Herbert’s departure marks the end of an era for German basketball. He led the team to a bronze medal at the 2022 European Championship and a sensational World Cup title in Manila last year. His legacy will be remembered for years to come, but now it’s time to look to the future.

The new coach will have big shoes to fill, but the DBB is confident that they have found the right person for the job. The only thing that is certain is that the new coach will not be allowed to train a club team at the same time, a rule that was recently changed to allow Herbert to take over at Bayern Munich without a transition period.

As a basketball fan, I am excited to see who will take the reins and lead the team to even greater success. The future is bright for German basketball, and I have no doubt that the new coach will be up to the task.

But who will it be? The DBB has kept the name of the new coach under wraps, but rumors are circulating that it could be a well-known coach from the Bundesliga. Whoever it is, they will have the support of the entire basketball community behind them.

As we wait with bated breath for the announcement, one thing is certain: the future of German basketball is in good hands.
