Nebojsa Covic has revealed two coaching stories from his time at Crvena Zvezda. Speaking about his spell in charge of the Belgrade club, before moving into his current role as president of the Serbian Basketball Federation, he said he wanted Vassilis Spanoulis to become head coach after Dusko Ivanovic left, but the Greek felt it was too early for him to coach in the EuroLeague.
Covic described the contact in these terms: “After Dusko’s departure, I wanted to bring Vassilis Spanoulis. That was an idea of mine, we talked, but he honestly said that it was too early for him to coach in the EuroLeague.”
He also mentioned Andrea Trinchieri, saying Crvena Zvezda had once been very close to an agreement with the Italian coach before he chose to pursue an NBA assistant role. Covic added that, after Trinchieri later signed with Partizan, there was no longer a realistic path for him to join Zvezda.
