[Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/) has announced the signing of [Tyson Carter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tyson-carter/011305/), who has spent the last three seasons with Unicaja Malaga. The length of the contract has not been disclosed.

Having made his professional debut with Lavrio in 2020-21, averaging 17.8 points per night in six Basketball Champions League appearances, Carter signed for Zenit but was unable to make his mark with the then-EuroLeague team. It has been with Unicaja, however, where Carter has really established himself.

In the BCL, he has improved his numbers each year with Unicaja, posting 9.3 points in 18 games in 2022-23, 10.7 points in 15 games in 2023-24, and 12.8 points in 16 games in 2024-25. Carter helped lead to Unicaja to back-to-back BCL titles, while he was named as the BCL Final Four MVP in 2024-25.

Domestically, Carter also guided Unicaja to two Spanish Cup triumphs in 2022-23 and 2024-25, as well as the Spanish Super Cup in 2024.

A world-class head coach and a legendary club have crossed paths again, as [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/) has appointed Sergio Scariolo on a three-year deal.

Scariolo, 64, last coached Virtus Bologna in the 2022-23 season. [He replaces Chus Mateo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/real-madrid-parts-ways-with-coach-chus-mateo/), who led *Los Blancos* to the EuroLeague title in that campaign.

The Italian play-caller started his coaching career with Scavolini Pesaro, Aurora Desio and Fortitudo Bologna. Scariolo first left his native Italy to coach Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in 1997 before joining Real Madrid in 1999 and leading the team for three seasons. 

Scariolo has also coached Unicaja Malaga of Spain, Khimki Moscow Region of Russia, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan of Italy, as well as working for the NBA's Toronto Raptors as assistant coach. Scariolo has led the Spanish national team to unprecedented success.

The Crossover S5 Ep 3: Sergio Scariolo

Success came early in Scariolo's coaching career as he inspired Scavolini to the Italian League title in 1990 and reached the EuroLeague Final Four in 1991. He led Baskonia to the 1999 Spanish Cup and lifted the Spanish League trophy with Real Madrid in 2000. Scariolo went on to lead Unicaja to its first golden age, winning the Spanish Cup in 2005, the Spanish League in 2006 and reaching the EuroLeague Final Four in 2007. Scariolo helped Toronto win the NBA championship in 2019 and led Virtus to the BKT EuroCup crown in 2022.

Simply put, Scariolo is one of the best national team coaches of all-time, helping a generation of players led by Pau Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro, Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio and Rudy Fernandez, among others, dominate FIBA competitions. He guided Spain to four EuroBasket gold medals in 2009, 2011, 2015 and 2022, won the FIBA World Cup in 2019 and also earned two Olympic medals: silver in 2012 and bronze in 2016. He helped Spain get a bronze medal at EuroBasket 2017.

After three years at the helm, Chus Mateo has been relieved of his duties as [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/) head coach.

The 56-year-old had an 81-39 record with Real Madrid in the EuroLeague and guided the team to its 11th EuroLeague championship in 2023.

Most recently, Mateo led *Los Blancos* to a second Spanish League title in a row (2023-24; 2024-25), while he also lifted the Spanish Cup (2023-24) and two Spanish Super Cups (2021-22; 2022-23) during his time in charge. He was the 2023-24 EuroLeague Coach of the Year.

Mateo took the reins from Pablo Laso on a full-time basis in the summer of 2022, having stepped in for Laso due to health problems in the latter part of the 2021-22 campaign. During his time as interim head coach, he helped the Spanish giant secure the 2021-22 Spanish League crown, which proved crucial in him getting the full-time job.

Real Madrid reached the EuroLeague Championship Game in each of Mateo’s first two seasons as head coach before falling in the playoffs last season.

Sako (2.10 meters, 26 years old) made his EuroLeague debut last season with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne with which he averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals per game.
