It is official! Partizan NIS have appointed Sašo Filipovski as new head coach. Filipovski will replace Vlado Šćepanović who parted ways with the black & whites after dissatisfying start of the 2020/21 season.
Filipovski has already worked in ABA League as he was the head coach of Union Olimpija from 2003 to 2005 and from 2011 to 2013. Apart from his two spells with Union Olimpija, Filipovski has also worked in Turow Zgorzelec (2006-2009), Lokomotiv Rostov (2009), Lottomatica Roma (2011), Stelmet Zielona Góra (2014-2016), Banvit (2016-2018) and AS Monaco (2018/19). Also, he worked as assistant coach in CSKA Moscow in 2010 when the head coach of this team was Partizan NIS legend Duško Vujošević.
While working in Union Olimpija, Filipovski led this team toward two Slovenian championship titles (2004, 2005) two Slovenian Cups (2004, 2005) an two Slovenian SuperCup trophies (2003, 2004). He also won two Polish championships (2015, 2016) and one Polish Cup (2015) with Stelmet Zielona Góra and one Turkish Cup with Banvit (2017).
Partizan NIS announced that Sašo Filipovski will lead the team already in the next-round match against Zadar, which is scheduled for the following weekend. Also, the club confirmed that there will be two more new faces in the coaching staff as Boban Mitev will work as assistant coach, while Vladan Radonjić will be the new fitness coach.
Partizan NIS stated that the contract with former head coach Vlado Šćepanović was terminated by mutual agreement. Partizan NIS thanked Šćepanović for everything he has done for the club and wished him all the best in the future.

Uz Saša Filipovskog, nova lica u stručnom štabu će biti asistent Boban Mitev i kondicioni trener Vladan Radonjić, dok će trener Dejan Mijatović kao koordinator baviti mlađim selekcijama kluba.
