Roger Grimau takes over as Dinamo Bucharest head coach

Roger Grimau has officially been named the head coach of Dinamo Bucharest for a three-year term, making him the highest-paid coach in the league with an estimated salary of €700,000

Roger Grimau will take the helm as the head coach of Dinamo Bucharest, having reached an agreement on a three-year contract that would make him the highest-paid coach in the Romanian league, earning an estimated salary of €700,000.

While this move has yet to be officially announced, it has been confirmed by BasketNews sources, indicating a significant shift for the club.

Grimau previously served at Barcelona for just one season before being replaced by Joan Pennaroya last summer.

However, the team has faced challenges in recent years, failing to lift the domestic title since 2003.

Grimau will be stepping in for Serbian coach Dragan Nikolic, who has had a rocky start to the season.

Currently, Dinamo is positioned seventh in the Romanian league with a 3-4 record. The club’s management hopes that Grimau can bring the necessary changes to turn around the team’s fortunes and reignite their pursuit of domestic success.
