Andrej Žakelj is not going anywhere.

If there was a dilemma, it was resolved just a few days after the end of the season - the Slovenian will remain on the bench of Budućnost Voli for another two years.

Žakelj took over the "blues" in November 2023, and in the 2024/25 season he was named the best coach in the ABA League.

That season, Budućnost played in the final of the regional competition, and Partizan was the better team.

This season, the team from Podgorica reached the semifinals, were eliminated by Dubai, and as expected, achieved the double crown on the domestic stage.

"The Slovenian expert took over the team in November 2023 and has achieved notable results in the previous period, with a recognizable work system, dedication, and professional attitude that have contributed to the development of the team," Budućnost announced.

The club announced today that it has continued its cooperation with Fletcher Magee.
