He is in an extremely difficult position and in a very deep crisis Red Star.
After another unsuccessful season in Euroleaguewhich was completed with the crash (100-55) from Ephesus in Polis, the “red and white” fans erupted during the first quarter-final of the Adriatic league against Studentsky.
His team Yannis Sfeiropoulou she was even at -18 against her opponent, but after a “thriller” match she managed to take the victory with a score of 83-81. In the meantime, during the match the people who were in the closed he started shouting very loudly and demanding the resignation of the administration! In fact, at some point in the match he had to reassure them Milos Teodosic!
After the end of the match, the “strong man” of Red Star, Neboisa Covicspoke to the Serbian press and made some revelations.
Initially, he mentioned that he would like him as a coach Dusan Alibijevic (s.s. now in Besiktas)who was on the team’s bench in the 2017/18 season, but was sacked after failing in the finals of the Adriatic League against Buduchnostwhere the biggest fault was – according to the president – o Matias Lessorwho was competing there at the time and had made mistakes at critical points in the last final:
“If Dusan Alibijevic was free, I would have brought him. But, remember the injustice he suffered then, with the mistakes of our former player Matias Lessor (s.s. of Panathinaikos), who is now a bitter enemy of Red Star, this changed his career. They forced him to leave. There were boos, attacks, abusive slogans, despite the fact that he belonged to a group of promising coaches. We had no choice then. Sfeiropoulos is doing his job right. If we have succeeded so far? Don’t forget we already have a trophy and some don’t…».
From there, Covic was asked about the transfer moves of the team during this season and specifically about Moses Wrightwho was on her list, but ended up in Olympic: “There were several players, like Moses Wright, but the manager didn’t want him and that’s why he didn’t come. Like it or not, we are not coaches. There is no excuse, if you choose wrong then you make corrections. That’s how the job goes».
Red Star fans are calling for the resignation of the management:
