Braunschweig, Feb 13th – In a crucial move to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga, Basketball Löwen Braunschweig has appointed Spanish coach Ramón Díaz as their new head coach. The 43-year-old takes over from Kostas Papazoglou, who was relieved of his duties due to the team’s disappointing performance in the league standings.
“Now it’s about concentrating all our strengths on sporting success and securing relegation,” said Nils Mittmann, the managing director of Basketball Löwen Braunschweig.

Díaz, a former head coach of Coviran Granada in the Spanish ACB league until January 2026, has signed a contract with Braunschweig that will keep him at the club until the end of the season. His first game in charge will be an away fixture against the Skyliners Frankfurt this Saturday.
Braunschweig’s History with Spanish Coaches
Braunschweig has had success with Spanish coaches in the past. Last season, Jesús Ramírez guided the Lions to significant success and was voted coach of the year for the 2024/25 season. The club will be hoping for a similar impact from Díaz.
World Champion Dennis Schröder’s Involvement
Despite Braunschweig’s struggles, one bright spot has been the World Champion captain Dennis Schröder, a discovery of the team’s former coach Liviu Calin. Schröder will continue to play a pivotal role in the team’s pursuit of Bundesliga survival under the new coach.
