What Led to Natxo Lezkano Dismissal at MoraBanc Andorra Suddenly

Recent Performance and Coaching Change

MoraBanc Andorra has been facing a challenging period, with only two wins in their last 12 games, prompting the team to announce the dismissal of coach Natxo Lezkano. This decision comes after a streak of six consecutive defeats, which has placed the team in a difficult position, tied with other teams but not in relegation due to a better point difference.

Coach’s Background and Achievements

Natxo Lezkano joined MoraBanc Andorra in the summer of 2022, leading the team to achieve promotion to the ACB League with a remarkable season, securing 29 victories in 33 games. In their return to the ACB League, the team overcame a phase of eight consecutive defeats and finished in 11th position with 13 wins and 21 losses. Lezkano also led the team to compete in European competition, qualifying for the second round of the Champions League.

Current Season and Future Outlook

This season, despite having a stronger team, MoraBanc Andorra has only won two games in the last 12 and has not secured a win at the Pavellón Toni Martí since October 26. The team currently has five wins and 12 losses, with the worst defense in the ACB League. The club is now looking to turn the team’s direction around in the second half of the season and has begun searching for a replacement for Natxo Lezkano.

Reaction and Next Steps

The club has expressed gratitude to Natxo Lezkano for his dedication and contribution to the team during his two and a half seasons as coach, particularly for his role in achieving the goal of returning to the ACB. Francesc Solana, the sports director, is now responsible for finding a new coach, and the team’s next game is scheduled against Casademont Zaragoza on Sunday.
