In… waiting is still o Panathinaikos for Ergin Ataman.
In an interview with the Turkish agency, the experienced coach clarified that he has not yet officially signed with the “greens”, saying that at the moment he is focused on his obligations with the Effects and winning the championship.
“I haven’t officially signed with Panathinaikos yet. We are discussing how to reach a possible collaboration at the end of the season. The Euroleague is a very difficult competition and it takes a lot of effort to play in the Final Four and win the trophy“, the Turkish coach initially stated to “DHA” and then referred to Efes:
“I still feel very proud of the back-to-back win in 2021 and 2022. Now, there will be four more teams fighting for the trophy. From here on, we will fight for the championship in Turkey. We expect a strong challenge in the league playoffs. I believe that Efes will take the title this year. Efes is not just one team I worked with. The management, staff and people have a family bond. I believe this bond will last forever».
Finally, regarding the national team:In August, our national team will give very important qualifiers for the Olympic Games, in Istanbul. Our preparation starts in mid-July and I hope to have a full roster. The aim is to present ourselves strong against Croatia, Ukraine and Belgium».
