Ergin Ataman, head coach of Panathinaikos, spoke exclusively to SPORT24 after being honored for his achievements during the 2023/24 season. The Turkish coach expressed respect for Olympiacos and coach Giorgos Bartzokas, while emphasizing Panathinaikos’ ambitions to win the EuroLeague again.
“Of course, it is very important to have this trophy in a country where there is great passion for basketball and where everyone loves the sport. In a country that has had many champions in the past. Now I am very happy to have achieved this success with one of the biggest teams in Europe, Panathinaikos. It is a great emotion for me, we must be patient and not stop here, but continue to win titles.”
“Our ambition for the season, obviously for Panathinaikos, is to repeat last season, to go for the back-to-back. With all due respect to the other teams, we know that the other Greek team, Olympiacos, has a very good coach and a very strong roster. It will be a tough season in both the EuroLeague and the Greek championship. Our ambition is to win once again.”
