After the COVID-19 virus thinned Barcelona’s coaching staff, Tomás Masiulis will take the reins of the coach in Friday’s Euroleague game, reports Mundo Deportivo.
Triples released this season
Šarūnas Jasikevičius and his first assistant, Darius Maskoliūnas, are in self-isolation after a coronavirus infection detected over the weekend. They are subject to a 14-day quarantine according to Euroleague security protocols.
After the detection of a COVID-19 infection in the team, Barça stopped training and, after repeating the test session on Tuesday, asked that the duel in Saint Petersburg with Zurit, represented by Artūras Gudaitis, be postponed from Thursday to Friday.
Masiul Shar will also have to lead next week, which is double in the Euroleague: on Tuesday there will be a battle with Valencia Basket and on Thursday at home with Panathinaikos in Athens.
It is noted that the security protocols of the ACB are more liberal, as they do not specify a specific quarantine period and the regions follow their own procedures. In Catalonia, health professionals determine the duration of self-isolation according to the circumstances of each case.
It is hoped that Jasikevičius, together with Maskoliūnas and another infected person, who has not been publicly identified, will be able to return to work in the next Spanish league match, on October 18 with Vitorija “Baskonia” represented by Rokas Giedraitis and Tadas. Sedekerskis.
Masiulis last held the position of coach in the substitutes of Kaunas Žalgiris, which he coached in 2011-2018.
Barça started in the Euroleague last week with a 76:66 victory over CSKA Moscow, which also announced three COVID-19 infections after the match. Russian club boss coach Dimitris Itoudis fell ill with coronavirus in summer.
