After a dramatic finish, Partizan suffered a defeat in the Euroleague against Bayern (79:78). The fans escorted the players to the locker room with a mixture of whistles and applause, and there was also a “line-up” in front of the south stand. It was stormy in the Arena, and Ostoja Mijailović is trying to lower the passions.
One of the main topics was Željko Obradović, a trophy expert whose contract expires in a few months, since upon his arrival in Humska he emphasized that he was “coming for three years”. “It is foolish to comment on the importance of Željko Obradović, the most decorated basketball coach. We are discussing the extension of cooperation within the club. Our desire is to continue cooperation. I see no reason for it to be otherwise. It is important that he has a clear picture of what we have at our disposal next season when it comes to money and budget“, said Mijailović for “TV Prva”.
He also mentioned the recent one meeting with Euroleague representatives led by Dejan Bodirog. “I wouldn’t say too much about that meeting, the Euroleague will issue a statement on that occasion. For Serbian clubs, it is primarily to play in the Euroleague next season, I think that the format will not change. Partizan’s long-term goal is long-term cooperation with the Euroleague, so that we can make plans.”
Ostoja Mijailović announced: We want Željko to stay in Partizan!

Finally, he commented on the upcoming Radivoje Korać Cup. “We want to send a message to everyone, to make it a basketball holiday, to reduce tensions. Let the better one win,” concluded Mijailović.
