The Nishinomiya Storks on Tuesday appointed veteran Greek coach Christos Marmarinos as their new bench boss.
Marmarinos replaces Miodrag Rajkovic, the Serbian who led the second-division team this past season.
The Storks went 34-26 under Rajkovic, placing third in the six-team Central Division, 14 games behind the B2 champion Shinshu Brave Warriors.
