The news was in the air and we reported it to you this morning, now it is official. Partizan Belgrade has announced the contract extension of coach Zeljko Obradovic, one of the most decorated coaches in the history of European basketball. Obradovic will remain at the helm of the Serbian club for another two years, having signed a two-year contract. This was announced by Partizan president Ostoja Mijailovc at a special press conference. These are his statements.
Mijalovic’s words about Obradovic’s extension: “We called you this morning about today, I apologize for that. Mr. Željko Obradović has extended his contract for two more seasons. I congratulate Željko and all Partizan players, we have a good period ahead of us. We have worked a lot together on the development and growth plan. We are the most followed team in Europe, we have all succeeded in this project, from the management to the players, to the people who work in the club. It is a collective success. The fans only see success through trophies. We won the Adriatic League last season, and that is a great success.
Obradovic’s words on the renewal: “I would like to thank the president of the club for his kind words. I thank all the managers for agreeing to extend the partnership, it was always a mutual desire. Everyone knows that this is a club where I enjoy working. I have to thank all my colleagues, the players, the whole Partizan team, but especially the people in the administration, who do their best to make Partizan big and successful. It is impossible to leave out everyone for whom this is done, and that is the army of fans. They are the driving force, there are data about the attendance of Partizan in these two seasons. Since I came back, my goal was for Partizan to become a consistent Euroleague participant team beyond the borders of the sport and Partizan. Thanks to the fans for the love they give us, may they continue to do so”.
