Winner of national titles as a player and as a coach , here is the Croatian Veljko Mrsic , 54 years old. He is the coach chosen to replace Massimo Bulleri at the helm of Dinamo.

He has a strong bond with Gianmarco Pozzecco, who certainly spoke to him about Sassari: the two won the Scudetto as players in Varese in 1999. Poz later acted as his assistant at Cibona Zagreb.

In his native Croatia, Mrsic won 9 titles and cups, coached the Croatian national team and played three seasons in Spain with Bilbao and Breogan.
Sporting director Mauro Sartori describes him as follows: "Mrsic was a great player at the international level, a key figure in top-level clubs. He successfully transferred this wealth of experience to his coaching role, establishing himself in challenging leagues like the Spanish one. He's an expert coach, he knows his players, and thanks to his basketball training, he knows how to find the right balance between determination and dialogue to bring out the best in each of them . "

The Sassari club hopes to make his debut as early as Thursday at the PalaSerradimigni in the delicate match against Cantù.
