Tabellini : “I’m here to be myself”

In a few hours, Paris Basketball will kick off its 2025-2026 season with the LNB SuperCup semi-final against Le Mans at 7 p.m. These will be the first official competitive games for our new coach, Francesco Tabellini.

Ahead of this clash against Le Mans in this unprecedented LNB Super Cup, Francesco Tabellini took stock of the preseason while sharing his thoughts since arriving at Paris Basketball: 

“So far, the preseason has been a great way for all of us to understand and realize that we can really compete with the best. We’ll be facing tough opponents, and we’re capable of beating them. That’s our goal (…) I’m here to be myself. I came here to do what it takes to win. And I think that’s why I was recruited.”

« Je suis content de la pré-saison on a pu jouer contre des équipes fortes. On a montré de belles choses. On a gagné, mais sur la pré-saison gagner ou perdre n’est pas ça qui compte. Je suis surtout content de ce que j’ai vu. » pic.twitter.com/er1j5h3mID
