Bundesliga basketball club Science City Jena has found a new head coach. The American Steven Michael Esterkamp comes to Jena from second-division club Eisbären Bremerhaven and replaces his compatriot Mike Taylor. The latter had ended his commitment after five games as a "fireman" and the successful relegation to the second division and returned to the USA for family reasons.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to coach this club and look forward to working with everyone involved. I can't wait to get to work with Science City Jena and build a team that will fight in every game and make the club and our fans proud," said the new Head Coach.
