Spanish coach Ibon Navarro is the new head coach of Crvena zvezda Meridianbet!

Navarro, who has enjoyed tremendous success with Unicaja Málaga, winning seven trophies in four seasons, arrives in Belgrade to take on a new challenge as the head coach of the red-and-whites.

Ibon Navarro Pérez de Albéniz was born on April 30, 1976, in Vitoria, Spain, where he began his coaching career more than 20 years ago, working with the youth teams of Baskonia.

He then continued to develop as a coach and gain valuable experience as an assistant coach with some of Spain’s biggest clubs, including Valencia, Baskonia, and Tenerife, while also serving as an assistant coach for the Puerto Rico national team.

His first opportunity as a head coach came, naturally, at Baskonia. He later coached Manresa, Murcia, and Andorra, once again attracting the attention of Spain’s top clubs. In 2022, he took over Unicaja and led the club through the most successful period in its history, winning seven trophies in three seasons: two FIBA Basketball Champions League titles, two FIBA Intercontinental Cups, two Spanish Cup titles and one Spanish Super Cup.

Navarro now begins a new chapter in his coaching career in Belgrade. Throughout his career, he has been recognized for a coaching style built on high-intensity, fast-paced basketball and the effective use of deep player rotations.

Ibon Navaro u Beogradu otvara novo poglavlje u trenerskoj karijeri, koji je do sada krasio stil u kome su ekipe koje je predvodio sa klupe igrale veoma brzu košarku visokog intenziteta, uz korišćenje velikog broja igrača u rotaciji.
