Ranko Simović is the First Reinforcement of Borac Mozzart

Borac Mozzart has secured its first signing for the upcoming competitive year. Head coach Saša Ocokoljić’s team has been strengthened with the addition of Ranko Simović, who signed a one-year contract with the red-and-white side, with an option to extend it.

In this way, the team from the city on the Morava River has begun assembling its squad in time for the upcoming season, which will be its seventh in the ABA League.

As for the new signing, Simović is a player who took his first basketball steps with KK Mladost Čačak. He stayed in the youth development system there until 2016, when he moved to Crvena zvezda. The following year, after turning 18, he signed a four-year contract with the Belgrade club, but was soon loaned to KK Vršac, where he spent the 2018/2019 season. He then played for FMP SoccerBet for one year, followed by a stint with KK Sloboda Užice during the 2019/2020 season. From 2020 onward, he spent several years representing the club from Železnik. Last season, he played for KK Vojvodina.

Ranko Simović can also boast experience with Serbia’s youth national teams, having represented the country at both the U18 and U20 levels.

It is also worth mentioning that Borac Mozzart is actively negotiating with players who formed the backbone of the team last season and carried the burden of a very difficult and demanding campaign. In addition, the club is in talks with several players who are of interest to coach Ocokoljić and his staff.

For reference, the players currently under contract are team captain Uroš Čarapić, Đorđe Ćurčić, Petar Radović, Mihailo Mušikić, and Josh Pierre-Louis.

Ranko Simović prvo pojačanje Borca Mozzart

Klub iz Čačka je krenuo da sklapa tim za novu sezonu.

Borac Mozzart ugovorio je prvu akviziciju za novu takmičarsku godinu. Tim trenera Saše Ocokoljića od danas je bogatiji za potpis Ranka Simovića (27, 203), koji je ugovorio saradnju sa crveno-belim timom na godinu dana, uz opciju produžetka.

Na ovaj način ekipa iz grada na Moravi počela je na vreme da sastavlja tabor za predstojeću sezonu, sedmu u kojoj će biti deo admiralbet ABA lige.

Što se tiče novog pojačanja, reč je o igraču koji je prve košarkaške korake napravio u čačanskoj Mladosti. U rasadniku talenata boravio je do 2016. Godine, kada je prešao u redove Crvene zvezde. Naredne godine, kada je postao punoletan, potpisao je četvorogodišnji ugovor sa beogradskim crveno-belima, ali ubrzo je poslat na pozajmicu u Vršac, gde je proveo sezonu 2018/2019. Potom je nosio dres FMP-a jednu godinu, zatim užičke Slobode (2019/2020), da bi od 2020. Pa narednih nekoliko godine branio grb tima iz Železnika. Poslednju sezonu proveo je u novosadskoj Vojvodini.

Takođe, Ranko Simović može da se pohvali da je bio deo mlađih selekcija Srbije. Nosio je dres U18 i U20 košarkaške reprezentacije Srbije.

Vredno pomena je da Borac Mozzart aktivno radi na pregovorima sa igračima koji su prošle sezone bili okosnica tima i koji su na svojim plećima izneli veoma tešku i napronu takmičarsku godinu. Pored toga, u razgovorima je sa brojnim igračima koji su interesantni treneru Ocokoljiću i njegovom stručnom štabu.

Podsećanja radi, u ovom momentu pod ugovorom su kapiten prvog tima Uroš Čarapić, Đorđe Ćurčić, Petar Radović, Mihailo Mušikić i Džoš Pjer-Luis.
