Ergin Ataman, Anadolu Efes Istanbul’s head coach, may join Panathinaikos Athens. Misko Raznatovic, specialist’s agent, stated.
The most important European basketball agent spoke to SDNA’s Georgios Zakkas on the Greek team’s potential deal with the Turkish coach.
«As you know, the administration of Panathinaikos is full of emotions, it has passion, just like Ataman. I think the two sides are a good match, and if it happens, it will bring excitement to Greek and European basketball. I don’t know whether it will happen but we’ll find out soon».
«[He’s looking for] a challenge. Of course, jumping from the 10th floor is also a challenge. I don’t mean that. He wants a real basketball challenge that gives him ground to try and achieve what he did in Efes again. This means taking a team from the bottom to the top of the Euroleague».
«I’ve heard many rumors but I’ll be honest with you. I don’t want to talk to any owner about players if I don’t know who the head coach is going to be».
«If Ataman is the coach, I will recommend 7-8 players from my list, which I know Ataman will like and suit him. If the coach is [Sarunas] Jasikevicius, the players will be different. If it is [Pablo] Laso, it will probably be different. Some of them may be in all three debates,” Raznatovic said. “I haven’t mentioned a single name to him».
