career

Pastore grew up in Buenos Aires , where he began with the sport of basketball before he played at Lipscomb University in the US state of Tennessee between 1992 and 1996 and also completed a degree in business administration . In 1996 he became a professional basketball player and played briefly for the German second division team TG Landshut and after his departure from playing in the course of the 1996/97 season, he moved to BG Steiner Bayreuth in the basketball league . There he played until the end of the 1997/98 season and became the favorite of Bayreuth spectators. In 1998/99 Pastore was under contract with the Italian second division team Cuccine Jesi , and in the 1999/2000 season with the Bundesliga team Telekom Baskets Bonn . In the following years he played for the Italian second division club Popolare Ragusa (2000/01 and 2002/03), the Serie A club Coop Nord Est Trieste (2001/02) and for the second division Garofoli Osimo (2004/05). In the 2005/06 season Pastore wore the jersey of the Swiss first division club Lugano Tiger , with which he won the championship.

At SAV Vacallo Basket (also in Switzerland) Pastore made the leap into the coaching business. In the 2006/07 season he was the player-coach of the second division club and led the team to promotion to the first division. In 2008 Vacallo won the Swiss Cup under Pastore's leadership, then the championship and cup in 2009. His tenure in Vacallo ended in February 2013 when the team was withdrawn from the game for financial reasons.

For the 2015/16 season, Pastore was signed by BV Chemnitz 99 from the 2nd Bundesliga ProA as head coach. In the 2016/17 season he led the Saxons to the ProA semi-finals. In the series against Gotha, Chemnitz took the lead with two wins, but missed the necessary third success to reach the finals and promotion to the basketball league , while Gotha managed the turnaround with three wins. He was named Trainer of the Year for the ProA season 2016/17 both by the internet service eurobasket.com and in the vote for the 2nd basketball division. In the 2018/19 game year he led the Saxons to first place in the ProA points round and then to the semi-finals, where they lost to Hamburg in the fifth and last game of the series in their own hall with 72:78 and thus just like two years earlier Bundesliga promotion missed. In the 2019/20 season, the Chemnitz team achieved 22 wins in a row under his leadership, which meant a new league record. With 25 wins and two defeats, his team was unchallenged at the top of the table in the second division when the season was canceled in mid-March 2020 due to the spread of the COVID-19 disease and Chemnitz was granted the right to promotion to the basketball Bundesliga. Pastore received the award "Best coach of the ProA season 19/20" (determined by a league survey).
