Andrej Žakelj produžio ugovor sa SC Derby-jem
Slovenački šef stručnog štaba produžio je ugovor sa Studentima na tri godine.
Žakelj je u prethodne dvije sezone predvodio SC Derby do istorijskih rezultata u AdmiralBet ABA ligi. U sezoni koja je upravo za nama Studenti su se plasirali u Plejof regionalnog takmičenja i bili na korak od senzacije u 1/4 finalu protiv Partizana Mozzart Bet, koji je kasnije osvojio šampionsku titulu.
Trenersku karijeru je počeo u Slovanu, kao asistent, a potom je radio u Olimpiji i Polzeli.
Kao prvi trener je debitovao u Lastovki, potom vodio poljski Start Lublin, a onda se vratio u Sloveniju i bio na klupama Podčetrteka i Šentjura.
Sa Primorskom je osvojio i Kup Slovenije 2020. godine pobijedivši Cedevita Olimpiju u finalu.
