Panagiotis Giannaras has been officially appointed as the head coach of the Cyprus men’s national basketball team. Giannaras has indicated that his leadership will focus on a strategic rebuild of the national program, prioritizing the development of younger players and the establishment of a professional mindset to achieve long-term success.
