Former University of Louisville men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino has returned to the game.
Pitino will coach a team overseas.
Pitino is the new head coach of the Greek professional team Panathinaikos which plays in the Euroleague.
The Greek team fired its previous coach last week following its fifth loss in seven games.
The 66-year-old Pitino was fired by Louisville more than a year ago after the school was implicated in a federal corruption investigation of college basketball.
Panathinaikos says Pitino arrived in Athens Wednesday and has conducted his first practice. He’s under contract for the remainder of the season.
