Caja returns to A1, will try to save Reggio Emilia

The coach from Pavia splits the contract with Varese and signs with the Emilians last in the standings. Federation waiver

PAVIA

Attilio Caja returns to coaching in A1 and does so with the mandate to save Reggio Emilia from relegation. The coach from Pavia has always liked challenges and that of avoiding Pallacanestro Reggiana – last in the standings – from sinking into Serie A2 is really difficult. The Emilians are back from five consecutive defeats and to try to get the season back on their feet yesterday morning they reached an agreement until June 2022 with Caja, who from today is the new head coach of the first red and white team.

The 60-year-old coach from Pavia had started the season on the bench of Varese Basketball, but already in the pre-season the disagreements with Luis Scola, Argentinian ex-Armani hunk taken in the summer by the Bulgheroni club, had compromised the situation. Between the two, Varese “saved” Scola, exonerating Caja and replacing him with Massimo Bulleri. Caja, who still had a one-year contract with the Varese team, to sign with Reggio Emilia, first had to terminate this contract by consensus (passage made official by the Lombard company yesterday morning through the official channels). But to reach an agreement with Reggio, the coach from Pavia needed an exemption from Federbasket. And after the dismissal of Antimo Martino, made official on Monday evening, Unahotels Reggio Emilia received the green light from the Fip, thus perfecting the agreement with the coach from Pavia.

The federal waiver

Otherwise, Caja would not have been able to accept the membership with Reggio Emilia, according to article 146 (“the membership of a head coach is considered exclusive, therefore the same cannot sign other membership requests during the duration of a sports season “); a further complication was represented by the fact that Caja had been exonerated from Varese to the Italian Super Cup already in progress, in the seven days preceding the first day of the championship, while without official matches already disputed the article 147 would have granted him a loophole, with or without federal exemption.

The transaction completed with Varese and the “release” of the Fip unblocked the impasse, allowing, among other things, the coffers of Openjobmetis to be able to save, given that the contract with the now former coach would be valid until 2022. Reggio Emilia has today the same points as Varese and the first direct clash between the rivals, fundamental in terms of safety for both, is scheduled for 11 April. –
