Barcelona are considering Zeljko Obradovic as a coaching option. According to El Punt Avui, the Catalan club have put the name of the most successful coach in EuroLeague history on the table.

Obradovic, a nine-time EuroLeague champion as head coach, is expected to decide in the coming days whether he wants to return to coaching after resigning from Partizan on November 25. In recent weeks, he has reportedly drawn interest from EuroLeague clubs.

For Barcelona, a potential Obradovic appointment would be a major response after Xavi Pascual’s departure to Dubai, giving strength and credibility to the club’s new basketball project.
