Sasa Obradovic and Monaco, it's over

Sasa Obradovic pays the bill. Fifth in Betclic Elite and seventh in the Euroleague, AS Monaco players are far from their usual standards. Injuries partly explain this stumbling start to the season. But this is obviously not sufficient justification for the leaders of the Rocher club: Sasa Obradovic is dismissed from his functions this Monday. The defeat against Le Mans on Sunday at Gaston-Médecin was one too many.

«Sasa Obradovic has brought rigor and worked tirelessly since the start of this human adventure in December 2020. (His) name is forever inscribed in the history of the Roca Team. The managers and staff sincerely thank him for the work accomplished.», We explain in a press release, adding that it is deputy Manuchar Markoishvili who will take over in the interim.
