The renowned Montenegrin expert will have his first task in August with the B&H team, and he said that he has conducted interviews with some players.
‘’Harun Mahmutović and I were in Zagreb, where we spoke with Nurkić and Šutalo. Tomorrow I will speak with Gordić. I have already spoken with Mirza Teletović, and of course I have to speak with the rest of the players. I hope that we could make the best possible team. A national team is different from a club. Here is the key desire and ambition of the players. Desire is the deciding factor. We cannot force anyone to play. If someone does not come with a huge desire to play, it is sure to be a negative factor in the team, and no one wants that. The basketball players with whom I speak have a wish to be members of this team. If we manage to create a team that can function as a club, then this is a big advantage for us’, said coach of the B&H basketball team, whose assistants on the bench are Nenad Trajković and Ivan Velić.
The B&H team will play against Great Britain and Iceland in the qualifications. The team is expected to gather on 1 July, and the plan for preparations will become known in the next days.
