What was being discussed yesterday has become official today: Stefan Jovic has become the new player of Bayern.
As reported, the Serbian point guard signed a one-year contract with the Munich club and comes in as a replacement for the injured Rokas Jokubaitis, which was also confirmed by Bayern’s sports director, Dragan Tarlac.
“It’s no secret that we had to react to the serious injury of Rokas Jokubaitis, and doing so this late in the summer was very challenging. That’s why we’re even happier that we managed to bring in Stefan, an experienced and well-known point guard, whom we believe fits perfectly into our system. Moreover, he knows Munich and the EuroLeague very well. Stefan also showed at the recent EuroLeague season that he is in great form. We look forward to this reinforcement in the backcourt and his positive impact on the team.”
