Shortly before the Eurobasket final between Turkey and Germany, the Ergkin Ataman He showed how much confidence he is, as he said he is the best basketball coach in the last decade.
His former player in Galatasaray, Vladimir Mitsovhe agreed with this statement, as he explained in an interview with Meridian Sport, stressing that the results confirm the Turk.
In detail what he said:
“I don’t understand why someone can underestimate him. They say it’s easy when you have unlimited budget with 25, 30, 35 million … but you have to adjust it. It’s not just that you sign 10 stars, because the ball is one.
And Ataman has shown that he does it with great success and with much smaller clubs, where he won everything, and then back-to-back with Efes. Before that, he led Galatasaray to the Eurocup title, which was the biggest success of the Turkish club at that time. He then won the Euroleague twice. He then moved to Panathinaikos and immediately became a European champion again.
While everyone was skeptical, saying “it is excluded, it is the first year and everything is new”. Last year, he arrived at the Final Four. In every sport it is very difficult, the hardest thing, to stay at the top.
I don’t know who can really underestimate him. Perhaps it is a consequence of certain statements, energy, comments and behavior off the field … but when you look at the results it has achieved, what it did for Turkish and European basketball, it shows that it is the best coach. “
