The 39-year-old Frenchman returns to his homeland after seven seasons, which he spent working for the “Minnesota Timberwolves” club in the NBA league. Initially, M. Lefevre was an assistant player development coach and video coordinator, and later became assistant to head coach Chris Finch.
Even earlier, the Frenchman worked at Texas Tech University.
Working at the “Paris” club will be his first head coach experience in his career.
M. Leferve will be assisted by Pierric Poupet, who left the Villeurbanne ASVEL club – this specialist held the position of head coach in Villeurbanne for a year and a half.
This will be the third season in the EuroLeague for the “Paris” club. Last season, the team was coached by Italian Francesco Tabellini, but he was fired in the spring, and his place was taken by Julius Thomas, a German who is only 28 years old.
