“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Žiga Daneu to extend his contract. Žiga is an important part of our team, and his dedication greatly contributes to the development of the team and the club. We look forward to continued collaboration and believe he will continue to successfully represent Cedevita Olimpija’s colors. We certainly expect even more from him in the upcoming season compared to what he showed in the past season,” said Cedevita Olimpija’s sports director, Chechu Mulero, upon announcing the contract extension with Žiga Daneu.
“Žiga performed and played very well during the preseason and at the start of the season, as we could all see at the Super Cup, where he received the MVP award. Unfortunately, an unlucky injury occurred in the first game in Železnik, which made it difficult for him to regain his true rhythm. Nevertheless, through hard work in training and individual efforts, he earned a spot on the Slovenian senior national team. In the next season, we all expect a lot from Žiga, especially that he shows even more than he did in the past season,” said the head coach of the Dragons’ senior team, Zvezdan Mitrović, regarding the contract extension with Daneu.
“I’m looking forward to the next season, as it’s certainly everyone’s desire to show even greater enthusiasm and achieve more success. At the same time, I hope that the fans will also come to Stožice with joy, just as they did in the second half of the last season,” said Žiga Daneu upon extending his contract with Cedevita Olimpija.
