(Aleksandar Sasa Djordjevic)

Aleksandar Sasa Djordjevic is the new coach of the national basketball team of Serbia.

This legendary basketball player has reached an agreement with President of the Basketball Association of Serbia Dragan Djilas to coach the national team by 2016. Their first joint move will be to form an expert council that would assist Dordjevic in his work.

A proposal to create that council again after a six-year break will be made at a general meeting that will be held December 23rd. The Expert Council is expected to be made up of Bozidar Maljkovic, Svetislav Pesic, Ranko Zeravica, Zeljko Obradovic, Dragan Kapicic, Goran Grbovic and, probably, Dejan Bodiroga.

Djordjevic's first task is the world championship in Spain in 2014, and if his work is deemed satisfactory at the end of the term in 2016, his contract will be automatically extended for another two years.
