Mumbru will not lead Germany until the end of the European Championship

The head coach of the German men's basketball team, Alex Mumbru, will not lead the team until the end of the European Championship due to health problems.

The head coach of the German national team for the remainder of the European Championship will be Mumbru's assistant Alan Ibrahimagic, who led the team during the group stage matches, the German Basketball Association announced today.

"Over the past few days I have realised that I am not physically ready to lead the team from the bench during matches. I have decided to adjust the roles of the coaching staff and give Alan the responsibility of head coach during matches. I will continue to be on the bench, supporting the team, and we will continue to work closely together. I believe this is the best way to help the team achieve success," Mumbru said.

Mumbru was hospitalized due to an acute infection just before the German national team's first match at this year's European Championship, and the round of 16 match against Portugal was the first in which he led his team from the bench in this competition.

The German national team, along with the Turkish selection, is the only remaining undefeated team at this year's European Championship, where they will play against Slovenia in the quarterfinals.

The German national team is the current world champion, and this is Mumbru's first major tournament at the helm, after he replaced Gordon Herbert as their coach.
