Institutional boost for European debut
Roma SPQR is strengthening its structure with the additions of Bryan Colangelo and Mike D'Antoni ahead of its first season in the EuroCup and the LBA, a move linked to the NBA Europe expansion project that was published by Basketball Sphere and TalkBasket following the initial report by La Prealpina.
Defined roles in the new organization
Colangelo, the former longtime NBA executive, is set to serve as an advisor to the ownership group on roster construction and front-office management. D'Antoni, a four-time NBA Coach of the Year, is expected to join the Board of Directors to help shape the sporting strategy.
Context of the Rome project
The club from the Italian capital is preparing for its debut campaign in continental professional basketball after being created in connection with the NBA Europe initiative. The experience of both figures in the North American league aims to bring credibility and transatlantic market knowledge in a maiden season at European and domestic level.
