Montpellier changes name and structure for 2007-2008

Two seasons ago Montpellier escaped relegation from the elite division when it was decided to increase the number of teams in the top division to 14. Last season the team had the largest roster with 11 professional players and finished the season in 4th place.

Next season the amateur section of the club BLMM and the professional section LMAB will join forces and become one club under the name of Basket Lattes Montpellier Agglomération (BLMA). This fusion will enable the club to have a budget of around 2 million Euro for next season. This amount will not be sufficient for them to take part in the Euroleague but adequate for another European season in the FIBA Euro Cup.

José Ruis will step down as head coach to take care of the "centre de formation" while Valery Dermory will become head coach. Valery was the head coach at Mourenx.

Six players from the current roster are still under contract and will remain at the club next season. An article on player movements will be published after the play-offs.

The new club has also opted to end their relationship with Adidas for another German group JAKO.
