Some news that will definitely make Partizan fans happy. As the club officially announced, Novica Velickovic returns to the team for the first time after 2009!

“I am very pleased to be back in Belgrade. In the club from which I originated. The criteria for my choice were my desire to once again play in front of our fans and share my love for Partizan on court with them”, said the Novica Velickovic after signing his contract.
