Coaching career
On November 14, 2013, he was named a new head coach of Cibona Zagreb, after departure of Neven Spahija.[2] He led Cibona to the ABA League championship, despite huge financial problems the club was facing.[3] As a champion of the league, Cibona had direct spot in the Euroleague, but withdrew from it in order to stabilize financially.[4] Eventually, Crvena zvezda, as third in the standings, took its spot in the Euroleague.[5]
