Giulio Griccioli named Beijing Ducks head coach

The Beijing Ducks appointed Giulio Griccioli as the head coach to replace Ernest Raden who had resigned from the position, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA)

club announced on Monday.

The team went on a three-game losing streak recently, with 10 wins and eight losses this season so far.

"The club fully respects Raden's decision and thanks him for his great contribution to the team in the past more than a year," the club said in a statement.

Griccioli joined the Beijing Ducks in 2020, once acting as an assistant head coach and an interim head coach of the team.
