Overview

  • On August 8, Baskonia announced the early termination of Pablo Laso’s contract, originally set to run through 2027, after just one season in charge.
  • Under Laso, the team failed to qualify for the Copa del Rey, did not advance past the EuroLeague group stage and finished eighth in Liga ACB.
  • The club has hired Paolo Galbiati on a two-year contract to lead Baskonia through the 2026-27 season.
  • Galbiati, 41, earned recognition last season by guiding Dolomiti Energia Trento to a fourth-place finish in Italy’s top league.
  • Laso’s résumé includes two EuroLeague titles with Real Madrid and a season at Bayern Munich, and he is now regarded as a leading candidate to take over Spain’s national team after EuroBasket 2025.
