Ginzburg retires as head coach of Czech men's basketball team

Ronen Ginzburg is retiring as head coach of the Czech men's national basketball team after ten years. The 59-year-old native of Tel Aviv, who acquired Czech citizenship in October 2020, last led the national team at the end of February in Montenegro in the World Cup qualifier.

Under Ginzburg, the national team experienced the most successful period in independent Czech history. In 2015, the team won seventh place at the European Championships and four years later, it reached the World Championships for the first time since the division of Czechoslovakia. In 2021, it fought its way to the Tokyo Olympics, finishing ninth for the first time in modern Czech history.
