Although now with China, former Serbia head coach Sasha Djordjevic says he remains proud of his home country and his former players who grew before his eyes
China coach Sasha Djordjevic celebrated his 56th birthday on the wrong end of a 42-point rout as his former team Serbia crushed Team Dragons, 105-63, in the FIBA World Cup at the Araneta Coliseum on Saturday, August 26.
“It was an emotional game for me. You know where I’m from and what I did with these guys,” Djordjevic said after the match. He also called the shots for the Eagles in the last World Cup, guiding the squad to fifth place before he stepped down from his post immediately after wrapping up their campaign.
“Most of them were selected by me and coached [by me]. I’m very proud when I left and I’m very proud of how big they’ve become as persons and as players,” said Djordjevic.
