TANZANIA champions Dar City have appointed Moroccan Reda Rhalimi to their technical team ahead of the Road to BAL Elite 16 tournament in Nairobi, Kenya (22 November – 29 November).
Rhalimi, a former Morocco national team player and assistant coach of the Atlas nation’s U16 team, also joins Dar City as an assistant coach to the club’s Senegalese coach Pabi Gueye. The 44-year-old former college player joined the NBA franchise Atlanta Hawks on a two-month fellowship last year. He has also run coaching clinics for the Basketball Africa League during their in-season programme.
As a player, he competed in six AfroBaskets. He also suited up for JDA Dijon Basket in the 2007 EuroCup season, and played for Majd Tanger in his home country.
