De Raffaele became the Reyer head coach in February 2016, having spent the previous five years as the team's assistant coach. The 54-year-old, who is the longest-serving coach in Reyer's history, won the Italian League with the club in 2017 and 2019, while he also led Reyer to the FIBA Europe Cup title in 2018 and the Italian Cup in 2020. His dismissal comes after a run of six defeats in seven games, the last of which came on Sunday at home to Brindisi in the Italian League, leaving the team in ninth position with a record of 8-10.
