SIG Strasbourg confirmed on Friday, May 5, the extension of contract of head coach Jānis Gailītis and assistant coach Massimo Maffezzoli. Initially engaged for a shorter period, the two coaches have seen an additional year added to their contract, which now ties them to the SIG until 2028. A decision that comes as the club wants to inscribe its sports project in continuity. The 8th place obtained in Betclic ÉLITE despite a complicated end of season, and the narrow defeat in playoffs against Paris (2-1) have convinced the directors. The sports director, Nicola Alberani, has indeed justified this choice by the solidity of the relationship established with the two coaches: _« We build our project in the long term and establish a solid relationship with a high-level technical staff. They have demonstrated that they have perfectly adapted to our club and the French championship, to which they have quickly acclimated. They have also been able to integrate very quickly into the city and the Strasbourg way of life_(from Germany for Gailītis, from China for Maffezzoli, ndlr). _»_
