Zeljko Obradovic will most likely grow some… roots in Fenerbahce. The president of the Turkish team, Aziz Yildirim, revealed in “Hurriyet” that he has proposed a three-year contract extension to Zoc. The Serbian coach is expected to acept this proposal and sign in the upcoming days!
In this way he will remain at the helm of Fenerbahce until 2020 since there is one year remaining in his current contract.
However, Yildirim asked something different from Obradovic. What is that? Investment in more younger players. Either from Turkey all from other countries.
Apparently, this request happened because the management of Fenerbahce to bring some balance in the club’s budget. The investments of Fenerbahce are huge and the income is… half of the sum that is spent on the budget. A high price to pay, yet one that led to the Final Four.
So, it will be interesting to see which young players is Zeljko Obradovic going to choose in order to build a new roster that will also remain competitive at the top level.
