Back to work: Partizan Mozzart Bet squad gather for first team practice ahead of the 2025/26 campaign

A day after unveiling their new jerseys and hosting a 3x3 exhibition tournament under the Avala Tower, Partizan Mozzart Bet players officially started preparations for the new season in Belgrade.

On the first day of work, all the players whom the fans greeted the previous night at Avala were present in the Belgrade Arena, except for captain Vanja Marinković and Isaac Bonga, who are away on national team duty.

Exactly at 5 p.m., head coach Željko Obradović gathered the team at center court, after which training could begin. The new season also brought changes within the coaching staff, as Mirko Ocokoljić replaced Bogdan Karaičić, and Luka Milinković took over from Pavle Badovinac.

The traditional pre-practice huddle, in the absence of Vanja Marinković, was led by the new vice-captain, Aleksej Pokuševski.

The black-and-whites will continue training in Belgrade until their departure for the first prep tournament in Italy, where they will face Napoli, Virtus, and Livorno.

The tournament in Italy is scheduled for September 6 and 7.

Partizan Mozzart Bet počeo pripreme za sezonu 2025-26

Dan nakon predstavljanja nove opreme i egzibicionog turnira u basketu 3x3 koji je održan podno Avalskog tornja, košarkaši Partizana Mozzart Bet su u Maloj areni započeli pripreme za novu sezonu.

Prvog radnog dana, u Beogradskoj areni su bili svi igrači koje su noć pre navijači pozdravili na Avali, dok su zbog obaveza u nacionalnim timovima odsutni kapiten Vanja Marinković i Ajzak Bonga.

Tačno u 17 časova, trener Željko Obradović je okupio igrače na centru igrališta, nakon čega je trening mogao da počne. U novoj sezoni, došlo je i do promena u stručnom štabu, gde je Bogdana Karaičića zamenio Mirko Ocokoljić, a Pavla Badovinca, Luka Milinković.

Tradicionalni pozdrav pred trening, u odsustvu Vanje Marinkovića je predvodio novi zamenik kapitena, Aleksej Pokuševski.

Crno-beli će trenirati u Beogradu sve do polaska na prvi pripremni turnir u Italiji, gde će osim Partizana Mozzart Bet učestvovati Napoli, Virtus i Livorno.

Turnir u Italiji je na programu 6. i 7. septembra.
