ASVEL Villeurbanne are exploring a coaching change, with Herbert being their primary candidate to replace TJ Parker, per BasketNews sources.

A Canadian-Finnish head coach has recently achieved remarkable success with the German national team.

Under his guidance, Germany secured a bronze medal at the 2022 EuroBasket and captured the World Cup in 2023.

Herbert, 64, has coaching experience in France. He previously led Paris Basket Racing from 2004 to 2006 and coached Elan Bearnais Pau-Orthez during the 2006-07 season.

Herbert's last stint in the EuroLeague dates back to 2008 when he led Aris TT Bank Thessaloniki. Additionally, he brought prior EuroLeague experience from his time with Pau-Orthez in 2006-07 and Opel Skyliners Frankfurt in 2001-02.

ASVEL faces a challenging start in the EuroLeague, losing the first three games with an average deficit of 17.3 points.

They hold the 8th position in the French league with four victories in 7 games.
