Pesic to stay on as head coach of Serbia men's national basketball team at least until 2025

BELGRADE - Svetislav Pesic has signed a contract with the Basketball Federation of Serbia (KSS) to stay on as head coach of the men's national basketball team until September 30, 2025 with an option to extend the deal, KSS President Nebojsa Covic announced on Sunday.

Pesic, 75, will thus lead Serbia in the remainder of the EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers and then at the tournament itself, provided that the Eagles qualify.

He took over as Serbia head coach in 2021 and went on to win the silver medal at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 in Manila and the bronze at this year's Olympic Games in Paris.
