Massimiliano Menetti
Italian basketball coach
Massimiliano "Max" Menetti (born 27 January 1973) is an Italian professional basketball coach who is the lead assistant coach for PAOK Thessaloniki of the Greek Basketball League (GBL) and the EuroCup.
Career
After spending years coaching the youth teams of Pallacanestro Reggiana and serving as assistant coach, Menetti was offered the head coach role for the 2006–07 season, though he returned to the assistant role at the end of the season.
After a stint at Sutor Montegranaro in 2009–10, again as an assistant, he returned to Reggio Emilia. One year later, he was named head coach again, a position he held for the subsequent seasons. In 2014, he led Pallacanestro Reggiana to the EuroChallenge title.
On 1 July 2015, his contract was extended until 2017.
On 16 May 2018, Menetti and Pallacanestro Reggiana consensually parted ways, with one year of his contract still remaining. Menetti left the club after eight seasons as head coach since taking over in 2011, having won promotion to Serie A in 2012, reached five consecutive league playoffs and Final Eights between 2012 and 2017, won the EuroChallenge in 2014 and the Italian Supercup in 2015, finished as Serie A runner-up twice in 2015 and 2016, and reached the EuroCup semifinals in 2018.
From the summer of 2018 to 2022, Menetti served as the head coach of Universo Treviso Basket. During his first season at the helm, Treviso won the Serie A2 Basket playoffs and earned promotion to Serie A.
On 28 July 2023, he signed with Hapoel Eilat of the Israeli Basketball Premier League.

Why this record matters
The phrase “italian basketball coach” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3851048. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 2006, 2009 and 2014.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
