Israel Joaquín González Nuñez (born 16 February 1975) is a Spanish professional basketball coach. Most recently he coached Alba Berlin of the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the EuroLeague.
Coaching career
[edit]In 2017, González signed with Alba Berlin to become an assistant coach under head coach, Aíto García Reneses. He helped the team to capture its first German League title since 2009,[1][2] and their first German Cup since 2016.[3] González was sacked by Alba Berlin on March 12, 2025. He paid the price for the team's disappointing performances during the 2024-25 season.[4] Berlin was sitting in 12th place in the Bundesliga standings and in last place in EuroLeague play, when González was dismissed.[5]
Personal life
