Cedevita Olimpija Extends Head Coach Zvezdan Mitrović Through 2028

Cedevita Olimpija is pleased to announce that the club and head coach Zvezdan Mitrović have agreed to a contract extension, which will solidify their cooperation through the end of the 2027/28 season.

Cedevita Olimpija and head coach of the senior team Zvezdan Mitrović have agreed to extend their contract. The Montenegrin expert, who joined the Ljubljana club ahead of the 2024/25 competitive season, will remain in the Slovenian capital at least until the conclusion of the 2027/28 season. During their time working together, Coach Mitrović, with his knowledge, energy, and leadership, together with the rest of the senior team’s coaching staff, has made a significant contribution to the team’s development, while also establishing a culture of competitiveness, discipline, and unity felt by the players, the fans, and the wider sports public.

Under Mitrović’s leadership, Cedevita Olimpija captured the Slovenian treble in the 2024/25 season and advanced to the quarterfinals of the EuroCup and the ABA League. In the 2025/26 season, the senior team won the Slovenian Super Cup and Cup titles, secured a playoff berth in the EuroCup for the second consecutive season, and reached the top eight in the ABA League after the first part of the regular season. The Cedevita Olimpija senior team was also selected as the Best Men’s Team of Ljubljana for 2025 by the Sports Association of Ljubljana and the City Municipality of Ljubljana.

“We are pleased to continue along the path we have set together. With his approach, Coach Mitrović has demonstrated that he understands the club’s values and the expectations of our environment, while always striving to achieve higher goals, reflecting both his and our ambition. We believe that many unforgettable moments still lie ahead,” said Cedevita Olimpija Director Davor Užbinec upon the signing of the contract extension.

“The extension of the head coach’s contract is the result of a shared vision and trust in the process we are building. Zvezdan Mitrović is a coach with a clear idea, high standards, and the ability to get the maximum out of his team. We believe that continuity on the bench provides the stability necessary for the team’s development and the achievement of competitive goals,” said Cedevita Olimpija Sporting Director Chechu Mulero following the extension agreement with the Montenegrin strategist.
