There’s no doubt that the continued presence of these two seasoned players on the team from the city on the Morava River is of great importance to coach Saša Ocokoljić's squad. It’s well known that these basketball players played a huge role in last year’s successes of the Čačak team, which had a very respectable season in the regional competition.
As for Marko Jošilo, he is a native of Čačak and came up through the youth ranks of the red-and-white club. After years of playing for various teams across the region, he decided last summer to return to where his basketball journey began and was even honored with the role of team captain.
Marko Jošilo began his professional career in 2011 as a player for Partizan. He then played for Varda from Višegrad, Radnik from Bijeljina, again for Varda, then for Igokea, Metalac, Bosna, Krka, and from 2020 to 2024, he played for Igokea.
With the team from Novo Mesto, he won the Second ABA League in 2018, and did so in Čačak, in front of his fellow citizens. At the same time, he was named the Most Valuable Player of that competition. In addition, he has won the Bosnian Championship and the Bosnian Cup multiple times.
Last season, wearing the Borac Mozzart jersey in the AdmiralBet ABA League, Marko Jošilo averaged nearly 10 points and five rebounds per game.
As for Stefan Fundić, the power forward’s stay is a significant reinforcement for one of the Serbian ABA League teams. His knowledge and experience were highly valuable to Saša Ocokoljić's team last year, and there’s no reason to think it won’t be the same in the upcoming season.
It’s well known that he is a player with considerable experience. He began his professional career in 2014 with Beovuk 72 from Belgrade, where he spent the next three seasons.
The next stop in his career was Vršac, where he stayed for one season (2016/2017). He then played for Mega from 2017 to 2019, before moving to Zadar, where he played in the 2019/2020 season. His last engagement in the regional competition before coming to Čačak was with Igokea, where he played from 2020 to 2022. Since 2022, he has played in Germany for the team Gießen. Before joining the red-and-white team from the city on the Morava, Stefan Fundić played for Mladost from Zemun.
Last season, in the regional competition, Stefan Fundić averaged 8.4 points and six rebounds per game for the Čačak team.

Marko Jošilo i Stefan Fundić ostaju u Borcu Mozzart
Marko Jošilo (33, 200) i Stefan Fundić (31, 200) produžili su saradnju sa Borcem Mozzart. Klub je sa njima napravio dogovor koji će važiti u narednih godinu dana.
Nema mesta sumnji, ostanak dva prekaljena igrača u timu iz grada na Moravi od velike je važnosti za tabor trenera Saše Ocokoljića. Dobro je poznato da su navedeni košarkaši imali ogromnu ulogu u prošlogodišnjim uspesima čačanskog tima, koji iza sebe ima veoma pristojnu sezonu u regonalnom takmičenju.
Što se tiče Marka Jošila, on je rođeni Čačanin, prošao je kroz mlađe selekcije crveno-belog kluba, a nakon godina igranja u mnogim taborima širom regiona, prošlog leta je odlučio da se vrati na mesto svojih košarkaških početaka, pa je čak dobio čast da bude kapiten prvog tima.
Marko Jošilo je svoju profesionalnu karijeru započeo 2011. godine, kao igrač Partizana. Zatim je nastupao za Vardu iz Višegrada, Radnik iz Bijeljine, ponovo za Vardu, a onda Igokeu, Metalac, Bosnu, Krku, a od 2020. do 2024. godine igrao je za Igokeu.
Sa timom iz Novog Mesta osvojio je 2018. godine Drugu ABA ligu, i to upravo u Čačku, pred svojim sugrađanima. Ujedno, tada je proglašen i za najkorisnijeg igrača navedenog takmičenja. Pored pomenutog, nekoliko puta je bio osvajač Prvenstva Bosne i Hercegovine, kao i Kupa iste države.
Minule takmičarske godine Marko Jošilo je u dresu Borca Mozzart u AdmiralBet ABA ligi prosečno beležio gotovo 10 poena po utakmici, a imao je i pet skokova.
Što se tiče Stefana Fundića, ostanak krilnog centra značajno je pojačanje za jednog od srpskih abaligaša. Njegovo znanje i iskustvo puno su značili ekipi Saše Ocokoljića lane, pa nema razloga da tako ne bude i u sezoni koja sledi.
Inače, dobro je poznato da je reč o igraču zavidnog iskustva. Profesionalnu karijeru je počeo 2014. godine u Beovuku 72 iz Beograda, a u navedenoj ekipi je proveo naredne tri sezone.
Sledeća stanica u njegovo karijeri bio je Vršac, u kom se zadržao jednu takmičarsku godinu (2016/2017). Zatim je nosio dres Mege od 2017. do 2019. godine, da bi se onda preselio u Zadar, gde je igrao u sezoni 2019/2020. Poslednji angažman u regionalnom takmičenju, a pre dolaska u Čačak, imao je u Igokei, gde je proveo period od 2020. do 2022. godine. Od 2022. godine nastupao je u Nemačkoj, u ekipi Gisen. Pre dolaska u crveno-beli tim iz grada na Moravi, Stefan Fundić je bio košarkaš zemunske Mladosti.
Prošle sezone Stefan Fundić je u regionalnom takmičenju u dresu čačanskog tima u proseku imao 8,4 poena, kao i šest skokova.
