Italian Basketball Association Contacts Joeljevic to take over as head coach. Previously coached the Chinese men s basketball team to make the worst in history

On September 9, with the Italian men's basketball team losing to Doncic 77-84, Slovenia, unfortunately missed the men's basketball team's European Cup quarter-finals, and Italian head coach Pozeko announced his resignation. Now, according to the Turin Sports Daily, the Italian Basketball Association has contacted former Chinese men's basketball coach Joeljevic and intends to let him serve as the next head coach of the Italian men's basketball team. However, Joeljevic's last coaching experience was criticized for coaching the Chinese men's basketball team.

In the previous European Cup finals of the men's basketball team, the Italian men's basketball team lost 77-84 to the Slovenian men's basketball team, which failed to stop Doncic's super performance. In this game, Doncic played 11 of 19 shots in 33 minutes, including 5 of 11 of the outside three-pointers, 15 of 16 free throws, and scored 42 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals.

After the Italian men's basketball team was eliminated, Italian men's basketball coach Lian Pozeko announced his resignation, and the core Gallinari announced his retirement from the national team.

Now, according to the Turin Sports Daily, the Italian Basketball Association has contacted Giorjevic to let him serve as the next head coach of the Italian men's basketball team. Giorjevic is a well-known European coach and his past coaching career is quite glamorous. He once led the Serbian men's basketball team to win the silver medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics and coached many European clubs to win the championship. Therefore, it is not surprising that he is valued by the Italian Basketball Association to coach.

Joeljevic's last coaching experience is that his performance in coaching the Chinese men's basketball team is extremely bleak. Joeljevic coached the Chinese men's basketball team with only 1 win and 4 losses in the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup, ranking only 29th, creating the worst record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, and missed the Paris Olympics.

At the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team missed the title and won only the bronze medal, setting the second worst record in the Asian Games history. As for the 2024 Men's Basketball Team Asian Preliminary, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team away, creating the Chinese men's basketball team's first loss to the Japanese men's basketball team in the FIBA ​​event in the past 88 years since 1936.
