I see some groups on social media calling for fans to storm the court. I beg them not to do that. Let them chant at me or whoever they want, just let the game remain peaceful. We will not allow anyone to enter the court; we will not allow ourselves to be disqualified from the EuroLeague. Partizan has to continue, it\u2019s 80 years old. It\u2019s older than Ostoja, older than \u017deljko, older than all of us. Partizan is bigger than all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:56<\/strong> \u2013 Next year is an election year; let all the experts who think they can take my place show up. Eight years ago no one wanted to bring even a bottle of water to this club because we were in debt. Now everyone finds it interesting because we have cash in the account. And why wasn\u2019t it interesting back then? Why didn\u2019t they bring in sponsors all those years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:55<\/strong> \u2013 When I brought \u017deljko, I was the best; when he leaves, I\u2019m the worst. Even though \u017deljko is leaving of his own will, even though we tried a million things to keep him. It was the same when Trinkijeri left \u2014 apparently that was also my fault. I know who is spinning things, who is releasing unverified information. \u017deljko never had the ambition to interfere in the board\u2019s work; he cared only about the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:53<\/strong> \u2013 We will not burden the new coach with sporting goals. Nothing is lost yet; with the support of the fans, the team can regroup. Whoever refuses to listen will be removed from the club; we will put them on a blacklist, and then let\u2019s see when they\u2019ll find a new club. We need to regroup and start winning. We must survive as a club; after that, anyone who wants can run for president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"RAUQExTZKi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/zbog-izbornog-skandala-u-tri-opstine-studenti-u-blokadi-pozvali-gradjane-na-skup-ispred-zgrade-rts\/\">ZBOG IZBORNOG SKANDALA U TRI OP\u0160TINE: Studenti u blokadi pozvali gra\u0111ane na skup ispred zgrade RTS!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;ZBOG IZBORNOG SKANDALA U TRI OP\u0160TINE: Studenti u blokadi pozvali gra\u0111ane na skup ispred zgrade RTS!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/zbog-izbornog-skandala-u-tri-opstine-studenti-u-blokadi-pozvali-gradjane-na-skup-ispred-zgrade-rts\/embed\/#?secret=z1bvroIoT8#?secret=RAUQExTZKi\" data-secret=\"RAUQExTZKi\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:51<\/strong> \u2013 If the board\u2019s resignation would solve the situation, I can submit it tonight.

Everything that has been appearing in recent days \u2014 Partizan does not deserve this. Neither Partizan nor \u017deljko as the greatest European coach. Members of the board give millions of their own money every season; they don\u2019t deserve this.

There\u2019s no romance here; this is business. We always had support from the state. I\u2019m responsible for money in the club, and the state always delivered the promised funds, increasing them year after year.

Players under contract cannot leave without the club\u2019s approval. They can exit their contracts only by paying compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:39<\/strong> \u2013 Next week we will choose a new sporting director, and then we will personally speak with all players. My proposal for this position will be \u017darko Paspalj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:36<\/strong> \u2013 We\u2019ve reached a situation where the players are afraid of how Thursday\u2019s game will go. Pressure must be taken off the players; we\u2019ll solve the issue of why they\u2019re not listening\u2026 I think they will show a reaction; another coach will come \u2014 and what if they don\u2019t respect him either? That\u2019s a scandal; we pay them. I ask fans not to insult the players\u2026 The biggest loss this season is the departure of \u017deljko Obradovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:33<\/strong> \u2013 People at yesterday\u2019s gathering in front of the Arena expected \u017deljko to appear at practice. Ratko \u010cakarevi\u0107, who removed the plates from the Korac Cup trophies, is trying to cause trouble by spinning stories with certain media about what happened at meetings. There are no internal problems \u2014 only external ones. I won\u2019t name the second person for personal reasons. People gathered peacefully, then some guys started smashing glass \u2014 those people were hired by the aforementioned individuals. We will sue all of them. \u010cakarevi\u0107 operates in murky waters, but it won\u2019t stay that way. In four and a half years, there has never been a conflict between me and Obradovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:30<\/strong> \u2013 \u017deljko once told me the system can\u2019t function without him or me. I came to Partizan three and a half years before \u017deljko; my term has nothing to do with the coaching position. Two people are spinning everything you read in the media. What does the club president\u2019s position have to do with the coach\u2019s? The club has a \u20ac27 million budget, it\u2019s stable, everything is paid on time. Obradovi\u0107 resigned due to players\u2019 disobedience, not because of money or the board\u2019s legitimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xBtOqiP0wM\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/dodik-reagovao-na-fotku-ace-lukasa-i-nasera-orica-duboko-si-povredio-sve-nas-iz-rs-taj-covek-je-pocinio-strasne-zlocine-nad-srbima-foto\/\">DODIK REAGOVAO NA FOTKU ACE LUKASA I NASERA ORI\u0106A: Duboko si povredio sve nas iz RS, taj \u010dovek je po\u010dinio stra\u0161ne zlo\u010dine nad Srbima!

Our budget increased from the moment \u017deljko arrived&#8230; He told me when he came that I needed to secure money for players, that he wouldn\u2019t be coach if salaries were late. And when people ask why I didn\u2019t extend his contract \u2014 because mine also expires. I can\u2019t guarantee him anything when I don\u2019t know my own fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:25<\/strong> \u2013 \u017deljko complained that players weren\u2019t listening, which was visible in their body language. He told me they weren\u2019t running drawn-up plays. No one knows why; no one has an answer. Players are paid, have big contracts, and have no reason for such disrespect. \u017deljko said goodbye to all of us warmly \u2014 I told him we haven\u2019t given up. I immediately called Dragan Ki\u0107anovi\u0107: \u201cI\u2019ll send a driver, come to Belgrade so we can convince him to stay.\u201d Ten minutes later he called me back and said Obradovi\u0107 wouldn\u2019t change his decision.<br>I called over 20 mutual friends to convince him. He didn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:23<\/strong> \u2013 Partizan pays all salaries, taxes, bonuses regularly. We owe no one a cent. Our key player is Karlik Jones; \u017deljko relied on him the most and communicated through him with the others. He was the key factor. They told me we must urgently bring a point guard \u2014 they suggested Nick Calathes and Bruno Fernando, and I immediately agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:22<\/strong> \u2013 Discipline is extremely important due to last season\u2019s nightclub brawl. That is one of our top priorities. Zoran Savi\u0107 has been issuing fines for indiscipline and lateness since the start of the season. I won\u2019t target players publicly\u2026 I won\u2019t reveal who does what\u2026 They only told me some players were cursing the coaching staff and behaving abnormally. Some contracts will likely be terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:21<\/strong> \u2013 \u017deljko always bought his own tickets; Mi\u0161ko Ra\u017enatovi\u0107 has his own season ticket. It is not true that \u017deljko\u2019s tickets were given to Mi\u0161ko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:18<\/strong> \u2013 It is not true that Dylan Osetkowski arrived without the consent of Zoran Savi\u0107 and \u017deljko Obradovi\u0107. He had an issue with a doping test, and Zoran claimed the contract wouldn\u2019t be valid even though it was signed. Everyone thought he would fail and be sanctioned. He wasn\u2019t, and then the question was what to do with him despite the signed contract.<br>Obradovi\u0107 always made the final decision regarding players. Jabari Parker is the most expensive signing in Partizan\u2019s history. \u017deljko told me that if we brought him, we would have a great player and the entire team would be built around him. I spared no money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:17<\/strong> \u2013 I told him he could choose any position in the club, even stay in management, but he replied that he wanted to leave the system and that we had to accept it. He explained that due to health concerns, he didn\u2019t want to risk a tragedy on the court. Some people even cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:16<\/strong> \u2013 The essence of his speech was that he had made a final decision, that this situation affected him deeply, and that he couldn\u2019t live through more bad results. I begged him to reconsider\u2026 I wanted him to finish the season with Partizan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:14<\/strong> \u2013 I told him at the meeting that the resignation was unanimously rejected. All board members said: \u201c\u017deljko, you must stay, just tell us what to do.\u201d I told him there was nothing we wouldn\u2019t do. There are witnesses and meeting minutes. I told him to give me the names of the players who disrespected him so we could immediately cut their contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:12<\/strong> \u2013 I immediately informed him that the resignation was unanimously rejected, and that there were no conditions we would not meet \u2014 only that he remain coach. When he returned from Athens, he agreed to talk\u2026 I truly hoped he would withdraw the resignation. We rejected it. I told him clearly that his resignation was rejected. \u010cakajac, our main sponsor and vice-president, did not accept the resignation \u2014 that is false. \u010cakajac said we must do everything for Obradovi\u0107 to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:11<\/strong> \u2013 Everything was spun incorrectly \u2014 we did not accept that resignation. Our PR service automatically thanks everyone; we published the letter out of respect for him. Nowhere did we accept his resignation. We had already scheduled the executive board meeting before the letter was posted, with one topic only: Obradovi\u0107\u2019s resignation. Every single member was shocked. We said to ourselves: \u201cHe must stay.\u201d If players don\u2019t respect him, we\u2019ll replace all the players \u2014 we don\u2019t care that we\u2019re 18th on the table. \u017deljko is much more to Partizan than a coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:10<\/strong> \u2013 PR had the correspondence with Obradovi\u0107 about the letter; I had nothing to do with it. I didn\u2019t change a single word \u2014 that\u2019s not my job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:07<\/strong> \u2013 Obradovi\u0107 called PR, wrote his farewell letter to the fans and the club, and it was posted on the club\u2019s social media. I was shocked. \u017deljko wanted me to see the letter before it was published. I didn\u2019t influence it \u2014 we have proof of that. The only topic was whether to say \u201cfinal\u201d or \u201cirrevocable\u201d resignation. \u017deljko told him to publish it. He wanted it posted on the website since he has no social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:05<\/strong> \u2013 During the game, you could see everyone collapse in the second half. When I saw \u017deljko at that moment, I almost cried. I rarely cry\u2026 The next morning I got a message from Obradovi\u0107: \u201cCan we talk?\u201d<br>I felt he would offer his resignation. He told me: \u201cLook, I\u2019ve made my decision \u2014 I resign. I did this intentionally at this moment so you can find a new coach. The players don\u2019t listen \u2014 I can\u2019t endure this anymore.\u201d<br>He said the decision was final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:03<\/strong> \u2013 Even before the trip to Athens, Obradovi\u0107 complained the players weren\u2019t listening, and that he had no solution. The day before the trip, I scheduled a meeting with Savi\u0107, Obradovi\u0107, and his staff. \u017deljko said the players weren\u2019t listening to his decisions and he had no solution. He mentioned for the first time that he and the staff might resign. The conclusion was that after returning from Athens, I would explain to the players they must honor their contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:01<\/strong> \u2013 Ostoja Mijailovi\u0107 confirmed at the very start of the show that <strong>\u017deljko Obradovi\u0107 is officially no longer the coach of Partizan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/interview-sergej-trifunovic-both-washington-and-brussels-fear-the-student-list-the-embrace-of-the-sajkaca-and-the-hijab-is-an-epic-moment-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">INTERVIEW, SERGEJ TRIFUNOVI\u0106: Both Washington and Brussels fear the student list!
