Renowned NBL championship winner Trevor Gleeson has been appointed coach of the Adelaide 36ers.
Gleeson, who coached the Perth Wildcats to five titles, has taken a three-year contract to replace Mike Wells, who stepped down earlier this month.
Gleeson will reunite with star guard Bryce Cotton at the 36ers, who were beaten by the Sydney Kings in game five of the recent NBL grand-final series.
"I've been watching from afar and with the team and where it's headed, it's an exciting time," Gleeson said in a statement on Friday.
"Adelaide's vision for the future and what it was looking for in a head coach really aligned with my principles and my experience.
"I'm excited and I am looking forward to the challenge of building the 36ers into a championship team.
