The Partizan Basketball Club is officially starting the search for a new coach, as a letter from Željko Obradović addressed to the fans was published on the club’s official website. The most successful European coach thus confirmed that he is leaving the position of head coach of the black-and-whites.
Obradović is leaving Humska after four years, and we are transmitting his letter in its entirety without editorial changes.
“Dear Partizan fans,
Four and a half years ago, I returned to my beloved club and started living the most beautiful dream with you. I had the desire and goal for our Partizan to become a part of the EuroLeague again after 10 years, and we all succeeded in that together. The matches of our beloved club have become something more than basketball, thanks to you who are most responsible for it. Unfortunately, the moment has come when I had to take responsibility for all the bad things that happened this season and submit my irrevocable resignation.
I want to thank all the people who helped our club all these years, the club president and all members of the Management Board, all the people from the club’s working community, as well as all the sponsors.
I am very grateful to all the players who were with us during these four and a half years, the members of my coaching staff (I have emphasized many times, the best I have ever had), and of course, great thanks to all Partizan fans!
Thank you for the unreserved support, respect, and love you have given me all these years on every occasion!
Always one of you, eternally grateful!
Željko Obradović,” it is stated on the KK Partizan website.
