Basket Torino, for sponsorship reasons Reale Mutua Torino, is an Italian basketball club based in Turin. Established in 2019 as successor of Auxilium Torino, the club will make its debut in the 2019–20 Serie A2 Basket.
History
In June 2019, Auxilium Torino was dissolved after the club was declared bankrupt after months of financial struggles, which had led to relegation from the Lega Basket Serie A in May.[1] As a result, Reale Mutua Basket Torino was founded after Stefano Sardara moved his club Dinamo Academy Cagliari from Cagliari to Turin.[2] The team will make its debut in the 2019–20 season in the Serie A2 Basket, Italy's second tier. Stefano Sardara was the majority holder with 75% while the Una Mole di Basket organization owns 25% of the club. On 21 June 2019, Demis Cavina was announced as head coach.[3] On 5 July 2019, the team's logo featuring a Turin bull was presented.[4]
