Coach Georgios Bartzokas takes helm of Barcelona for three years

He moves to Spain after a successful stint at Russian Lokomotiv Kuban

One of the things Greece is undoubtedly good at is basketball. With so many successful players abroad, NBA star Giannis Antentokumpo being the most prominent, it should come as no surprise that coach Georgios Bartzokas signed a three-year contract with European basketball giants Barcelona. After the huge success of his fellow Greek Dimitris Itoudis, who lifted the 2015-16 coveted Euroleague title with Russian CSKA Moscow, Bartzokas, 51, will try to lead the Spanish team to the top of Europe.
