After guiding Real Madrid to the EuroLeague Final and helping the squad win the Spanish Liga Endesa, coach Pablo Laso was let go, citing health issues as the main reason. He will now get rewarded for his years in coaching.

The Alava Provincial Council will present Laso with the Alava Medal, the highest honor the municipality can give to a citizen.

Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz of the Alava region, Laso is a two-time EuroLeague winner and a six-time Spanish League and Spanish Cup champion as a coach. As a player, he spent his first 11 seasons in the Spanish League in his hometown team and he's still the league's all-time leader in assists and steals until this day.

The Council announced that the specialist will be awarded for "the personal and sporting values ​​that he has transmitted throughout his career, always based on teamwork and collaboration".
