Heidelberg Dismiss Coach Danny Jansson as Assistant Carlo Finetti Takes Over

The club frames the change as an urgent response to a worsening relegation fight.

Overview

  • Heidelberg have five wins from 21 BBL games, sit second-last and are four points off 16th place.
  • Assistant coach Carlo Finetti, 30, has been appointed interim head coach through the end of the season.
  • The club statement thanked Jansson for last season’s run to third place and the BBL semi-finals built on team defense.
  • Jansson arrived in summer 2024 from relegated Tübingen before overseeing the club’s breakout 2024–25 campaign.
  • Reports attribute the current slump to injuries and unsuccessful roster tweaks, including the return of Ryan Mikesell.
