Big news in the Euroleague today! Partizan coach and the biggest coach in the world has just resigned. Zeljko Obradovic has given his resignation as the coach. For all us Partizan fans this is a really big shock because we never expected this to happen,even with this kind of bad results that we have been having. I think the players are just against Obradovic and things arent going right currently. But still i would like Zeljko Obradovic to stay at the club even with this bad results,truly a legend of the club and of the sport. Hopefully Partizan dosent take this resignation from Obradovic and tries to fix this.

Just few days after Messina, another Euroleague legend has resigned. Zeljko Obradovic resigned after big defeat to Panathinaikos
https://basketnews.com/news-235754-zeljko-obradovic-reportedly-steps-down-as-head-coach-of-partizan.html
It's probably right decision because Partizan aren't showing any good results this season so far. And this his decision probably means Obradovic retirement from coaching. Meanwhile, looks that we will have Andrea Trinchieri return to Partizan

Hapoel has built a strong team and is very confident, but they lost against Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe, and Real Madrid.

In all three of these games, their offensive efficiency was very low. They struggled to score.

Yesterday, they lost to Real Madrid 74-75.

You emphasized  their low scoring in games they lost. But it'salso worth to mention that they didn't conceded a lot too, it was defensive games. I don't see big problems with Hapoel offense.
BTW, yesterdays game ending was crazy, Real gave to Hapoel great opportunity to win the game, but they wasted it. I suggest you to watch highlights of last minute.

With Milan's coach now gone, could Obradovic take over at Milan?
If Milan wants to win the EuroLeague championship, they need to appoint a coach like Obra. When I saw the news of his resignation today, this immediately came to mind.
Let's wait and see if this reunion will happen.

[yenerbatmaz]

Anadolu Efes, having lost in three consecutive league matches, lost to Monaco yesterday by a very large margin. 102-66
This is more of a rout than a defeat.
Shane Larkin's absence is also negatively impacting the team. I don't know how long Kokoskov will continue at the helm of Anadolu Efes.
If I met manager İsmail Şenol, I would ask him why he and Luca Banchi parted ways. Anadolu Efes was playing good basketball when Banchi was the coach.
Despite being an Anadolu Efes fan, yesterday's loss deeply hurt me.

[Yabani]

Anadolu Efes will now consider this year a lost season. Fenerbahçe demonstrated the expected recovery, but Anadolu Efes did not.

Yesterday's defeat was an embarrassing one for Anadolu Efes. Such results are sometimes normal in basketball, but Anadolu Efes was unrecognizably bad yesterday. This disparity in scoreline was due to poor offensive and defensive performance.

Anadolu Efes will now consider this year a lost season. Fenerbahçe demonstrated the expected recovery, but Anadolu Efes did not.

Yesterday's defeat was an embarrassing one for Anadolu Efes. Such results are sometimes normal in basketball, but Anadolu Efes was unrecognizably bad yesterday. This disparity in scoreline was due to poor offensive and defensive performance.

In the Europa League, Anadolu Efes' performance has been very poor, ranking only 15th, and it will be difficult to catch up to the playoff positions above. The last playoff zone rank is occupied by strong teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, including strong teams from the Turkish league such as Fenerbahçe.
However, in the domestic Turkish league, Anadolu Efes is still quite competitive. Currently, Anadolu Efes ranks 4th in the Turkish league, qualifying for the playoff zone, which extends up to the 8th position.

[püsür]

Fenerbahçe are really doing great recently with 4 wins in a row. 3 of them were against the worst teams of the Euroleague so far maybe but this was still important for them to make a comeback. 

V. Bologna isn't normally a big challenge for them to tell the truth. Their form is much worse now too. Of course Jasikevičius still needs to be careful. Because their opponent beat Panathinaikos and Real Madrid this season.

Fenerbahçe had horrible defeats against Dubai and Real Madrid like 4-6 weeks ago, and also when I saw how they played the Valencia game I thought wow Fener's season is almost hopeless. Nevertheless, it seems like they bounced back. The wins can be against relatively easy teams but Hapoel victory was sending a message. Even though they are the last champions, they had a big roster change. Still the players like Melli and Baldwin play good. Players like Horton-Tucker are adjusting to the league and the team. Now in my opinion they have the biggest struggle of the season ahead of them. In December they will play Olympiacos, Monaco and Panathinaikos. Even in their local league they will play with the biggest teams in this month. It is like make it or go home kind of month. They MUST play good and get at least few wins in the important games.

I just read the news  at first i didn’t believe it because , but it seems this is true. I see they’ve called an emergency meeting regarding Zeljko’s resignation, but i don’t think they’ll change anything, because if he has already decided to leave, he will do it. I believe it’s a shock for all Partizan fans, but sometimes changes are necessary for a club to progress. Here’s an example: Crvena Zvezda  they changed their coach, brought in a few good players, and achieved a lot of good results

Yeah but you cannot compare for example any other team with Zeljko Obradovic or any other coach. Partizan won his first ever euroleague title because of him,we got back into euroleague because of him and the arena is full because of him,he is everything to us. I know people can hate about bad results and everything and i am mad that we are losing and playing bad,but if someone can get us out of this he can.
Yesterday was pretty depresed that he left but today i see signs that he might stay because Partizan board rejected his resignation and before in his career this happened in Fenerbahce aswell,they rejected it and he then continue leading the team and won the euroleague that season.

And this shameful defeat was enough for Efes board and they sacked Kokoskov. Wasn't surprised to see these news at all. No idea who will replace him, but there is quite many big names without job - Ioannis Sfairopoulos, Alex Mumbru, Sasa Djordevic, Pablo Laso, Chus Mateo, Dejan Radonjic, Aleksandr Dzikic

Very interesting. What do you think, can they change Zeljko's mind and he will decide to stay? IMO, it's more likely that he won't change decision, but I don't know what's going inside club.
Zeljko is biggest personality in Euroleague history with all titles that he won. He returned Partizan back where they belongs - few years back it was sad to watch at this club - mediacore Eurocup team managed by no name coaches.

Kokoskov was the wrong choice from the start.
I don't know how his health is, but if it were me, I'd prefer Pablo Laso. His name hasn't been mentioned, but if Obradovic has truly parted ways with Partizan, he could be offered a deal.
Among the coaches mentioned, Laso is the best in my opinion. If not, Alex Mumbru would be my choice. We'll see who Anadolu Efes management decides on.

I've heard that Efes is trying to get Dušan Alimpijević who is the coach of the other Turkish club Besiktas which is the current Turkish league leader. They were also good last year. Alimpijevic is also the new head coach of Serbian national team, they just played their first game with him yesterday. I heard at least in the summer period Efes is considering to get Alimpijevic. I don't think this rumour is even out yet. I heard from some insider. That would be an interesting development. He seems like a very good coach. Efes's two best center is injured long time, okay. But still they were terrible this season so far. It was a disastrous choice. I knew even Banchi would be better instead of Kokoskov. He was doing pretty good last year. Efes management screwed up.

[LTU_btc]

I guess many of you already saw, but for those who didn't - yesterday Lithuania mad one of craziest comebacks in basketball history. We were down by 7 with 10 seconds remaining when Ignas Sargiunas dropped 3 3-pointer, including game winning buzzer-beater. Just watch:
https://x.com/FIBAWC/status/1994161177111216523
T-Mac level performance. Honestly, in the end I don't understood why they're still fouling on GB players - game is already lost. How wrong I was . And yeah, I know that's just Great Britain, we played shit whole game, but now it doesn't matters

Alimpjevic would be great, but in his place, I would end season with Besiktas. He can make something big with this team like winning Eurocup oreven fighting for title in Turkish league. Joining team in December to save season is difficult task. Not like doing it in summer where you can select some your wanted players

[CLS63]

Things are really going interesting on Partizan side recently. As you have already mentioned Zeljko Obradovic has wanted to resign. But the board don't want to accept his request.

However reportedly he insists on his resignation. The fans have been on the streets to do their best to convince him to stay for longer.

https://www.eurohoops.net/en/euroleague/1900511/zeljko-obradovic-parts-ways-with-partizan-euroleague/

In case he officially leaves I think Anadolu Efes shouldn't miss the opportunity. Obradovic is a great coach and he can help them reborn.

Its really insane what is happening currently so many people came to the airport to welcome him back in Serbia to try and convince him to stay in the club and tommorow in the morning we will see his final answer. I honestly hope that he will stay in the club because its really important for the club and how things will go in the future in all aspects

[LGD2Business]

No matter what the Partizan management does, they haven't been able to convince Obradovic to reconsider his resignation. The experienced coach cited health issues as his reason. Will he stop coaching teams altogether or are these issues just temporary? He's only 65, he's still relatively young. He could have continued coaching at the highest competitive level for another 5-10 years. But if he feels his time has come, that's his decision. He's already considered among the greatest in history. He has nothing left to prove.

[CLS63]

We are going to play a really tough game against Olympiacos in Greece. But I still believe in my team while we are in a great shape. We are currently the most in form team of the Euroleague by 5 straight wins.

In the last season we defeated them twice. I'm concerned about especially Vezenkov in this game. If we guard him well we would have a bigger chance to win. I can't see the odds of this match for now interestingly.

They say they were ready to change the entire team for him, practically willing to start from scratch just to keep Zeljko. That didn’t happen, but even though i’m not a Partizan fan, i know what that means to the supporters. Zeljko is a basketball legend in every sense, and his resignation will change a lot of things.

They offered him everything,even to change the team and to bring new players but Zeljko refused everything. So this is the end of this era and as a Partizan fan im really sad. I think there are a lot more things that we dont know and i think politics have involved too much into the sport and into the club and for Zeljko i think its too much to handle. Also there is another rumour that the players arent satisfied with him as a coach and arent playing 100% so that might be another reason for everything that is happening in the club.
As a fan im nervous to see what will happen against Bayern Munich at home,we dont have a coach and i think the fans arent happy with the ownership so im expecting some trouble at the are on thursday.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

As a fan im nervous to see what will happen against Bayern Munich at home,we dont have a coach and i think the fans arent happy with the ownership so im expecting some trouble at the are on thursday.

Looking at how bad Bayern Munich is performing at the moment I don't think there is much to fear, even without a coach. Especially away Bayern is a joke so far. All the new guys they brought in don't live up to the expectations. I don't know how Dinwiddie has had some games with 25 or more points in the NBA last season and now in the EL his average is 10.8 points. The 3 point line is closer to the rim compared to the NBA and he shoots 27% (8/30)  . In the Bundesliga he also just makes 14, some on man.

Anyway, Partizan will win this one, I am sure!
