He considers himself one of the best coaches in Europe Svetislav Pesic.
The Serbian national coach made this statement in a forum he took part in, while the 74-year-old then emphasized that the job of coaches today is more difficultas players know a lot more than in the past.
“I have been a coach for 40 years. Throughout this journey we have had wins and losses, but I am a coach. One of the best coaches in Europe. When you don’t say it, I do“, the experienced coach initially said with a smile to the audience watching him.
He then spoke about the differences between coaches now and his own days as a player: “To be a leader and coach, you have to be authentic. When I was playing basketball, the coach would come and tell us that we have an important match ahead of us and we have to win. That’s what we heard. Today, the coaches do the same and the players say: “We know we have to fight, but how?”. The problem for coaches now is that young players know a lot more and sometimes question their coach’s orders. Therefore, we should know everything and be ready to answer their every question».
