Vladimir Lucic re-signed with FC Bayern Munich for three more years, the team announced Tuesday.
Lucic, 32, committing until the end of the 2024-25 season possibly signals his intention to remain with the German giant until the conclusion of his playing days. Since joining Bayern on a two-year contract in 2016, he had penned contract extensions lasting through the ongoing 2021-22 season.
“I am very happy to be a part of the FC Bayern family for three more years,” he noted, per the press release, “We have all put in so much hard work here together already and I am excited to see what the future holds for the club. I want to thank all my teammates, the coaching staff and the whole organization for this opportunity and the great trust.”
His 2021-22 campaign so far has produced 13.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks per contest over 20 appearances in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. At the domestic level, he has averaged 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per easyCredit BBL game.
“Vladimir is an exceptional player many clubs would love to have in their own squads,” noted general manager Marko Pesic, himself recently re-signing until the summer of 2025, “He knows that and yet opts to stay with us in Munich. This is a great success for our club, a real award that means a lot to all of us here.”
Lucic was included in the 2021 All-EuroLeague First Team alongside Vasilije Micic, Nikola Mirotic, Kevin Pangos, and Edy Tavares.
