Real Madrid officially announced that Chus Mateo will be the new team's head coach for the next two seasons until June 30, 2024.

Chus Mateo has been with Real Madrid from 1990 to 2004, working in the academy as a coach and, from 2014 until now, as Pablo Laso's assistant coach.

Real also confirmed that the club and Pablo Laso have mutually agreed to end their partnership that lasted since 2011.
 
During the 11 seasons, he has been in charge, Pablo Laso has won 22 titles: 2 EuroLeague trophies, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 6 ACB Spanish championships, 6 Copa del Rey titles, and 7 Super Cups.
 
"With this record, Pablo Laso becomes one of the club's greatest legends and most loved by all of Real Madrid, with these 22 titles equaling the record of Lolo Sáinz and having only Pedro Ferrándiz ahead, with 27 titles," says Real's statement.
 
Pablo Laso has ended his stage at Real Madrid as the coach with the most games directed (860) and the most victories achieved (659).
 
"Real Madrid wish him and his entire family all the best in this new stage of his life. Real Madrid will always be his home," the statement concludes.
