Jaka Lakovic Named Head Coach of La Laguna Tenerife
The club has signed him to a reported two‑season guaranteed deal with a third‑year option to sharpen Tenerife’s push in Spain and Europe next season.
Overview
- La Laguna Tenerife confirmed Lakovic as its new head coach via an official club announcement and social post.
- Eurohoops reported the contract is a multi‑year agreement guaranteed for two seasons with a team option for a third.
- Lakovic arrives after a successful spell at Dreamland Gran Canaria where he won the 7DAYS EuroCup and later led the team to another major European final.
- He brings broad experience from Spain’s Liga Endesa with more than 100 ACB games as a head coach plus prior stints at RETAbet Bilbao, three seasons at ratiopharm Ulm, and service as an assistant on Slovenia’s EuroBasket 2017 staff.
- As a former top-level player, including a 2010 EuroLeague title with Barcelona, Lakovic’s hire gives Tenerife short‑term stability in coaching and creates expectations that he will shape the club’s tactical identity and recruitment ahead of the 2026–27 domestic and continental campaigns.
