At a press conference at the “Crown Plaza” hotel, it has been officially confirmed that Zeljko Obradovic will remain as the head coach of Partizan.
There are no more doubts. The trophy-winning coach remains faithful to the club from Humska for at least two more seasons. During the day, information leaked that the deal was done, and now the confirmation has arrived, which will delight the supporters of the Belgrade club. First and foremost, the head of the black-and-whites, Ostoja Mijailovic, confirmed this news.
“I apologize, we called for today this morning, I’m leaving on Monday, it’s important that before these games in the ABA League, we take care of some important things. There’s something new in Partizan, our Zeljko Obradovic has extended his contract for two more seasons. Congratulations to Zeljko on this contract, congratulations to all Partizan fans, and I think we’re heading for a great period. We’ve worked together, achieved a lot in terms of sports, organization. The fact that we’re the most watched club in the EuroLeague for the second year in a row means something. We’ve all succeeded together from the management to the fans, coaches, entire coaching staff, fans, this is a collective success.
I know that fans always look at success through trophies and results. We’ve won a trophy after a decade, we rightfully play in the EuroLeague, this season we’re fighting to keep it in our trophy cabinet, we’ll give our all. You might ask, why two years? As a Partizan supporter and president, I want him to stay as long as he wants, he will say more than that himself, what Partizan means to him and what he means to him, this management led by me has a mandate for two years, and as president, I can’t guarantee beyond the mandate. Simply put, it fits in; that contract means nothing to Partizan and all of us, I’m confident in him,” said Ostoja Mijailovic at the beginning.
