The Larry Brown experiment in Italy didn’t last long.
Italian club Fiat Torino announced Thursday that it had parted ways with Brown “by mutual agreement.”
The team went 5-19 with Brown at the helm.
“Fiat Torino would like to thank coach Larry Brown for his hard work over the past few months as well as for the great human contribution he has been able to transfer to all members of the Company,” the team said in a statement translated by Google Translate.
