The blank season for Real Madrid, without trophies in any of its sections, is causing significant changes in the sporting planning. In basketball, the resignation of Sergio Rodríguez as the maximum responsible for the sporting area is the most notable consequence.
After a disappointing year, which included losing the EuroLeague final and early eliminations in the ACB League against Tenerife and in the Copa del Rey against Baskonia, the club has taken action. Despite the injuries suffered, coach Sergio Scariolo will continue leading the team, having signed a three-season contract last summer.
The decision to intervene in the sporting direction has fallen to the return of Juan Carlos Sánchez, who led the section for 15 years until last summer. Florentino Pérez, the club's president, has decided to turn to him again, having previously kept him on as an advisor.
Sergio Rodríguez, who took over the role last summer alongside Martynas Pocius, now finds himself in a subordinate position following Sánchez's return. This 'demotion' has led Rodríguez and Pocius to submit their resignations, as reported by the portal 'Encestando'. The relationship between Rodríguez and Sánchez has been strained since their playing days.
The situation for other players like Sergio Llull, who wishes to continue for another season, now rests on the decisions made by the club's new management.
