Gordon Herbert, the head coach of the German national team and the recent World Cup champion, might continue his career in Japan, sources tell BasketNews.

Per BasketNews sources, a 65-year-old Canadian-Finnish specialist is targeted as the main candidate to take over the Chiba Jets on a multi-year deal.

The Jets are exploring the market, as their current head coach, John Patrick, is reportedly expected to return to MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg after the 2023-24 season.

Herbert's contract with the German national team runs until 2025, but it should no longer be an issue for him to accept the job at the club after the 2024 Paris Olympics, sources tell BasketNews.

That became an obstacle during the 2023-24 season when Herbert received an offer to return to the EuroLeague and take over ASVEL Villeurbanne. However, the German basketball federation (DBB) didn't approve his move to the club, as the German national team is preparing for the Olympics.

The Jets clinched the B.League championship in 2021 and advanced to the finals in the 2022-23 season.
