However, Spanoulis leads the team with the style he himself played – dynamic, brave and a lot of energy. This, as a fan and a basketball fan, is great to watch.

This distinguished him from the rest – his demanding, his accuracy and his passion for perfection. An excellent coach. Ataman has a different approach from Zeljko. Its competitive side is manifested in a special way. He is perhaps a slightly calmer observer than Obradovic – allows players more freedom, follows the game and believes they will find solutions on their own on the pitch. He believes this is the right road and there is different from Obradovic“
