jun 21 2026Željko Obradovic's return to Panathinaikos appears increasingly likely. According to Sport24, citing TeleSport information, the Serbian head coach has reached a preliminary agreement with the Greek club to sign for three seasons for a total of €10.5 million.
If officially confirmed, the move would represent one of the most impactful signings in the European market. Obradovic would return to the bench where he built one of the most successful periods in recent continental basketball history, winning five EuroLeagues with Panathinaikos between 1999 and 2012, in addition to near-total dominance in Greece.
The information also suggests that the coach has received guarantees regarding sporting control of the project and the absence of interference in his work, a key point in understanding the possible outcome of the negotiations.
