Overview

  • After more than four weeks in hospital following an earlier five-night stay during EuroBasket in Tampere, the 46-year-old has been discharged and is back home.
  • He says he is “okay, but not perfect” after pancreatitis and notes significant weight loss with improvement underway.
  • Mumbrú plans to be on the sideline for the World Cup qualifying opener on 28 November against Israel in Neu-Ulm and for the 1 December game in Cyprus.
  • While recuperating, he has been watching games, studying statistics, and speaking with players to assemble candidate lists for the upcoming window.
  • Assistant Alan Ibrahimagic led Germany to EuroBasket gold during Mumbrú’s absence, and the head coach’s contract runs to 2026 with a possible extension through the 2027 World Cup in Qatar if the team qualifies.
