Anadolu Efes<\/strong> is starting a new chapter by appointing Igor Kokoskov<\/strong> as head coach, marking his return to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague<\/strong>. The Serbian tactician replaces Luca Banchi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kokoskov most recently worked alongside Quin Snyder<\/strong> as an assistant coach for the Atlanta Hawks<\/strong>, but he brings deep European credentials to the job. He led Slovenia<\/strong> to a historic EuroBasket 2017 title<\/strong>, has coached the national teams of Georgia<\/strong> and Serbia<\/strong>, and was the first non-American to serve as an NBA head coach (Phoenix Suns, 2018-19).<\/p>\n

A EuroLeague return for Kokoskov signals Efes\u2019 renewed ambition<\/strong> after falling short of the BSL Finals<\/strong> and missing the EuroLeague Final Four<\/strong>. With a championship pedigree and vast international experience, Kokoskov is seen as the ideal figure to lead Efes back to the top.<\/p>\n
