From Oberdovich to Oberdovich: rating of Euroleague coaches Israel today

This is already the fourth season in a row that one of the European super coaches is missing from the Euroleague.

It started with Ettore Messina who coached in the NBA, continued Bzaliko Obrodovic who was on vacation and then coached Partizan Belgrade in the Eurocup, and this season it will be Pablo Lasso - who after 11 wonderful seasons at Real Madrid with countless titles left, after a saga surrounding his health.

On the other hand, Oberdovich returns to the Euroleague this season, and immediately lands in his rightful place.

Pay attention to the position of Andrea Trinchieri, the withdrawal of Charas and Oded Ketch who is still not in the top ten

1. Zeljko Oberdovic - Partizan Belgrade

The best and most decorated coach on the continent comes especially hungry after two seasons in which he did not coach in the Euroleague.

The Serbian was not ashamed to go down to the Eurocup last season in favor of the project that brought Partizan Belgrade back to the forefront, this season it should continue.

2. Ettore Messina - Milan

Since he arrived to coach in Milan, things have not been working well for the mighty coach.

Since he returned to Europe from the NBA adventure, it seems that he is less influential than before.

Last season Milan did not reach the Final Four, yet it is one of the greatest of all time and it is quite likely that during his time great things will happen at the club.

Maybe already this season.

3. Andrea Trinchieri - Bayern Munich

The coach who has the most influence on his team in the Euroleague, and the man who promotes his club the most on the continent.

In the last two years since he came to Bayern, they have become a playoff team.

A coach who promotes players, even at an advanced age quite a few players can say that with him they had the best season of their career.

4. Charonas Jasikvechios - Barcelona

He who was considered until recently the best coach in Europe, has not yet brought Barcelona the great achievement in two years under him and his status has been undermined.

Last season the ending was very bad and the team failed in both frames.

He did not advance to the Final Four of the Euroleague, and lost the championship in Spain.

5. Ergin Atman - Anadolu Efes

European champion in the last two years is getting recognition that he didn't have before, but still doesn't quite belong to the top, a third win will get him there.

A coach with the best sense of the game in the continent, will try to become the first to do it three times in a row.

He is responsible for an unsuccessful campaign with the Turkish national team, and too much messing with referees.

6. Dimitrios Itoudis - Fenerbahce

The Turkish team has not been able to improve since Zeljko Oberdovic left it.

Now the one who was the master's assistant for 13 years at Panathenaikos gets the reins, to get the club back on track.

A significant change in the career of the Greek coach who left CSKA after 7 great years.

7. Sergio Scariolo - Virtus Bologna

returns to the EuroLeague for the first time since 2016. The best team coach in the world, who recently brought Spain a fourth gold in EuroBasket and is still not in the highest echelon of the EuroLeague.

The reason: his career as a team coach has seen many ups and downs.

He came to Virtus last season to bring it back to its glory days, the start was successful with a Eurocup win and a ticket to the Euroleague.

8. Georgis Barzoukas - Olympiakos

There are coaches whose connection to a certain club is excellent.

So it is with Barzoukas and Olympiakos.

In the first term he won the Euroleague championship with her, and in the second term he brought her out of a years-long crisis and brought her all the way to the Final Four last season.

9. Chos Matteo - Real Madrid

The coach of Real Madrid in the upcoming season is an unusual name on the list.

Accepting the coveted position after many years as an assistant coach, his experience as a Euroleague head coach was short even a decade ago.

Real did not hesitate to appoint him because his entry into the position is natural, he was under Pablo Lasso for 8 years, and when he stood at the front he did so successfully, when he won the championship last season when he replaced the Spaniard.

10. Sasha Oberdovich - Monaco

We started in Oberdovich and will end in Oberdovich.

Still far from the original, but only for the great achievement of qualifying for the playoffs with a new team in the factory he deserves a place on the list.

In general, the composition of the temperamental and tough Sasha Obrodovich (like Zeliko) is excellent.

In his two terms at the club, he knew many successes, and deserves a high mark for the connection with a player like Mike James.
