After the end of the 2023/24 season, Krka of Novo mesto and head coach Gašper Okorn have parted their ways. Okorn became Krka head coach in the June 2022 and in the 2022/23 season he led his team to the elite regional club competition, by winning the NLB ABA League 2 championship trophy. A season later, Krka, under the guidance of head coach Gašper Okorn took the 14th place in the AdmiralBet ABA League.
“He has successfully returned our team from the NLB ABA League 2 to the elite AdmiralBet ABA League, where Krka will compete in the new season as well. In the previous two seasons, a couple of young Slovenian players have gained their affirmation in the big stage, as they have got their first significant playing time and a true chance for their development and progress, while playing under his guidance. We wish to thank Gašper Okorn and Igor Kešelj for high-quality work and professional attitude in these two seasons at the bench of Krka and we wish both of them lots of success in the remainder of their careers,” Krka President Andraž Šuštaršič has told.

Gašper Okorn ni več trener Krke
Košarkarski klub Krka in trener Gašper Okorn sta zaključila dvoletno sodelovanje, strokovni štab članske ekipe zapušča tudi Okornov pomočnik Igor Kešelj.
Po zaključku tekmovalne sezone 2023/24 sta se novomeška Krka in glavni trener moštva Gašper Okorn razšla. Okorn je trener Krke postal junija 2022 in v sezoni 2022/23 z osvojitvijo naslova prvaka NLB Lige ABA 2 popeljal moštvo v elitni rang regionalnega klubskega tekmovanja, sezono kasneje pa je s Krko zasedel 14. mesto v AdmiralBet Ligi ABA.
„Našo člansko ekipo je že v prvi sezoni uspešno vrnil iz NLB Lige ABA 2 v elitno AdmiralBet Ligo ABA, kjer bo Krka igrala tudi v novi sezoni. V minulih dveh sezonah se je pod taktirko glavnega trenerja Gašperja Okorna uveljavilo tudi nekaj slovenskih košarkarjev, ki so prav pri njem dobili večjo minutažo in pravo priložnost za svoj napredek in razvoj. Gašperju Okornu in Igorju Kešlju se zahvaljujemo za opravljeno strokovno delo in profesionalen odnos v teh dveh sezonah na Krkini klopi, obema pa želimo uspešno nadaljevanje trenerske kariere,“ je ob zaključku sodelovanja povedal Andraž Šuštarič, predsednik Krke.
