WORCESTER Wolves assistant coach Alex Radu has said he is determined to see the club build on their best season ever.
Radu has recently started his other role as Romania Women’s assistant coach but has already put his thoughts on his return to Worcester for the new domestic campaign after Wolves claimed a memorable double last season winning the BBL Trophy and end-of-season BBL Playoffs.
Last week it was revealed Wolves will start the new campaign away at reigning league champions Newcastle Eagles before returning to the Worcester Arena to face Cheshire Phoenix in the first weekend of October.
“I’m really looking forward to next season,” Radu said.
“I am sure we can build on the success which we have had so far, and I am sure that the gym will be packed again on our first game at home on Friday, October 3 against Cheshire.
“It was good to see how the players came together and stayed together to win the BBL Play-off Final after winning the Trophy Final in Glasgow.
“My personal ambition is to treat our fans to at least the same level of achievement as last season and – why not – to even exceed it.”
Romania’s Women’s team are currently playing a series of friendly internationals ahead of co-hosting EuroBasket 2015. And Radu said he was thriving in his new position
“I’m really happy in my new role,” he added.
“It involves lots of work, lots of training sessions, discussions and meetings to prepare and set up team tactics and strategies.
“There are still plenty of things for me to learn, and I use every minute to absorb as much as possible. We have a great group of young players who are eager to improve and get better. It is a pleasure to work with them.
“Our team is improving day by day and we are looking ahead with plenty of confidence for a successful EuroBasket 2015.”
