Magro has spent the last three years at Brescia, helping the Italian team win the first trophy in its history – the Italian Cup in 2022-23. 

"We wanted an ambitious, charismatic, flourishing strategist with solid knowledge and experience to become the head coach of the team. Coach Magro meets all these qualities," Wolves sporting director Donatas Zavackas said. 

"He is a relatively young coach, he learned from top-level mentors such as Luca Banchi, he has worked with both youth and men's teams, and he has European tournament experience. We congratulate the coach on joining the club and we will immediately start work on the preparations for the upcoming season."

The 41-year-old returns to the EuroCup after leading Brescia to an 8-10 regular-season record and a seventh-placed finish in Group A. Magro's side then fell in the eighthfinals to Turk Telekom Ankara, which went on to reach the final.

In 2021-22, his first season at Brescia, Magro was named Coach of the Year in the Italian League after guiding his team to third place. Brescia once again came third in the domestic championship in 2023-24.

Magro started his coaching journey as an assistant at Basket Livorno (2004-05), Viola Reggio Calabria (2005-06) and Mens Sana Siena (2006-14), then got his first head coaching gig at Fulgor Omegna (2014-16), also in Italy. From there, he was an assistant at Brescia (2016-19) and Russian team Lokomotiv Kuban (2019-20) before heading to Polish side MKS Dabrowa Gornicza (2020-21) and Brescia (2021-24).
