Basketball - Coach Herbert can imagine a second job after the Olympics
German national basketball coach Gordon Herbert is considering a second job as a club coach after the Olympic Games. According to Herbert, he had already reached a verbal agreement with the French Euroleague club Asvel Lyon-Villeurbanne in the fall.
However, the German Basketball Federation (DBB) spoke out against a deal. "I respect the association's stance. But perhaps there will be an opportunity to coach a club at the same time after the games in Paris," Herbert told "Sport Bild".
His team, led by captain Dennis Schröder, is considered one of the medal contenders at the Olympic tournament (July 27 to August 11) in Paris and Lille. It remains to be seen who will play for Germany next summer. "The world champions naturally have an advantage. But take Nick Weiler-Babb, for example. He wasn't there in Asia because he was injured. I'll have to see what happens with him. Or Leon Kratzer, who would have deserved to be in the World Cup squad," said Herbert.

Despite the potential second job in Bavaria's basketball scene, Gordon Herbert remains focused on leading the German National Team in the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. Coming from Hagen, Germany, Schröder and his teammates are eager to contend for a medal, showcasing their skills on the court. If successful, Paris might not be the last stop for the German team in international competitions, as reigning world champions may have an advantage, but unexpected talents like Nick Weiler-Babb and Leon Kratzer could secure their spots. Meanwhile, Dennis Schröder, a key player for the German team, has recently signed with the Los Angeles Lakers from the USA, adding another prominent name to the list of athletes participating in the Olympic Games.
