Ettore Messina told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he is interested in becoming a head coach in the NBA.
Messina is currently an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs after a lengthy career as a head coach in Europe.
“I am seriously thinking about that but I’d ask first (Gregg Popovich) and (RC) Buford for advice," said Messina. "At the same time I am very happy with the Spurs. I have two years left on my contract with the Spurs. Maybe I finish my contract and I will go back home peacefully” said Messina who had some interviews with the Hawks before they hired Mike Budenholzer. “I made all the interviews with their GM Danny Ferry who showed a big interest in me. Then they rightly hired Mike Budenholzer who comes from Spurs’ school."
