Career

Antimo Martino started his coach-career with Virtus Roma as assistant coach from 2005 to 2014.

He became head-coach for the first time with Basket Ravenna in the Serie A2 league in 2014 and the following 4 seasons.[3] Martino had a big success with Ravenna reaching the A2 Playoffs' semifinals of the 2016–17 season. In 2018 he reached the final of the Italian LNP Cup.[4]

On 12 June 2018 Martino became the new head-coach of Fortitudo Bologna.[5] He won the 2018 A2 Supercup[6] and, in March 2019, he achieved the promotion to LBA, the men's top professional basketball division of the Italian basketball league system.[7] He was named as best coach of the 2018–19 A2 season.[8] With Martino, Fortitudo Bologna won their 1st A2 title by beating Virtus Roma in the Finals.[9]

He was hired by Reggio Emilia on 27 May 2021[10] for the 2020–21 season. But on 25 March 2021 he was removed from his place after a disappointing losing streak.[11]

At the beginning of the 2021–22 season, Martino was called back to Fortitudo Bologna to replace Jasmin Repeša who resigned after only one official match in the championship.[12]
