Latvian basketball players Artūrs Strautiņš and Inga Jakovičs will represent the Italian A-series team Varēze “Openjobmetis” until the end of this season, the former basketball player Buleri will lead, the team reports.
It has already been reported that Varese’s “Openjobmetis” on Saturday has stopped cooperating with its current coach Atilio Kaju. Vincenzo Kavacana will play the role of coach in the team for the time being.
On Tuesday, the Varese team revealed that Buleri had been hired as a coach until the end of the season.
It is significant that he finished the player’s career in the Varese team in 2017, but already in the next two seasons he held the position of the head coach’s assistant of the same unit.
He took his first steps in the coaching profession under Kaja’s wing. Last season, he joined the A2 series team “Ravenna” and worked as an assistant coach as well as a technical director.
The club reports that the official presentation of the coach will take place on Wednesday at 16:00 local time.
During his career as a basketball player, Buleri and the Varese team won two league titles, four Italian cups and two Italian Super Cups between 1999 and 2005. He also helped the club triumph in the Saporta Cup during this period.
In 2003 and 2005 he was recognized as the most valuable player in the A series, but in 2005 he won the same honor in the Italian Cup.
In the ranks of the Italian national team, he went on the field in 127 games, in which he scored a total of 1,063 points. In 2004, he won silver in the Italian national team at the Athens Olympics, but a year earlier he won a bronze award at the European Championships.
The first games in the Italian A-series are scheduled for September 27, but at the helm of the Varese team, as the head coach, Buleri will make his debut on Thursday, when the unit is scheduled to play in the Italian Super Cup.
