While her contacts Euroleague with the Dubai for the team’s entry into European basketball, initially through the Eurocup, have been “frozen”, the Arab team, Dubai BC, is preparing for its participation in the Adriatic League, which has been “locked”. However, her budget for the coming season will be only 4 million euros, much smaller than expected.
“For the next season we will have a budget of 4 million euros” said the team’s general manager and co-owner, Dejan Kamenjacevic. “We have behind us the support of the city that gave us its name, but we need to find sponsors and secure a TV roof. We want to be a self-sufficient group and not rely on the state. There will certainly be help, but it will be at normal levels“, he added.
As for the rumors that Saša Djordjevic will take over as coach, he said:We haven’t signed yet, but we’ve agreed. We want it to be someone who understands the mentality of the Balkans and the nature of the event».
Asked about the Euroleague, he replied: “We have been in discussions with them for many years. When we talk about entering another league, it will be very important for us. It is no secret that we are talking about the Euroleague and that it is the most competitive league in the world. This shows that they realize that there is a strong market. But there are prejudices, ignorance and some other things that delay the whole process, but I hope common sense prevails in the end because the vision and plan for success always wins».
