In a rather shocking and unexpected move, Ettore Messina has resigned from his position at Real Madrid.

Unofficial Messina is citing disrespect towards him by the players of the team as the reason of his resignation. Real Madrid board tried to talk him out of his decision, but the Italian coach backed up his initial decision.

Assistant coach Emanuele Molin was named temporary head coach.

Former Euroleague winner with CSKA Moscow has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning where he will explain his decision in detail.
