The meeting of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague board is scheduled for tomorrow (27/6) and among other things, the last participant of the 2019-20 season will be discussed. Partizan NIS is also a contender for the wild card and according to various reports a frontrunner.
Partizan President Ostoja Mijailovic noted during the club’s cocktail party that they are ready for any decision and are on the level of the biggest European clubs:
“Not only because of the historical values and the fact that we will play matches in the “Arena”, but Partizan is also a club that functions as a serious system. We are ready for every decision of the Euroleague Board because we are at the level of the biggest European clubs”, he said, per Basketballsphere.
Mijailovic also confirmed that coach Andrea Trinchieri will stay for another season and have a good budget to make the roster he desires: “We want the coaching continuity. Trinchieri will together with director Loncar have the freedom in making the roster, along with a good budget. Such a thing is possible after we have repaid a lot of debts, and we regularly service agreements. We will solve the issue of tax debt and there will be no ‘sword on the neck’ anymore.”
