According to Dario Skerletic from Sportando, the Italian coach has an agreement to take over Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana next season.

Pianigiani has previously coached Montepaschi Siena, Fenerbahce Istanbul, and Olimpia Milan. He spent the last several years in China as part of the Beijing Ducks team as a head coach and a team consultant.

In 18 games in the EuroCup, the Slovenian club managed to capture just 3 wins and finished the season last in Group A, having the second-worst record in the entire tournament, second only to Slask Wroclaw.

With 17 wins and 9 losses, Cedevita Olimpija finished the regular season in 4th place in the ABA League. They lead the quarterfinal series against FMP Soccerbet Belgrade 1-0.

More than a month ago, the club parted ways with its head coach Jurica Golemac. Assistant coach Miro Alilovic is now leading the team through the playoffs.
