When the news came out that D\u017eiki\u0107 would be available, the capital city squad pounced on the opportunity to snatch up one of the top bench bosses. <\/p>\n<p>D\u017eiki\u0107 arrives with a resume that includes the 2018 Adriatic League Championship, four time Slovenian League champ to go along 3 Cups and 3 Super Cups as well as winning the 2011 FIBA Eurochallenge title.

D\u017eiki\u0107 then moved to the United States between 2005-2007 where he was an assistant with the Minnesota Timberwolves becoming only the second European to be a part of an NBA coaching staff. After two seasons under head coach Dwayne Casey,<br \/>\nD\u017eiki\u0107 returned to Europe where he took over the reins at Ljubljana. <\/p>\n<p>Following the short stop in Ljubljana, D\u017eiki\u0107 did have success at another Slovenian club in Krka where he captured numerous titles. The coach also spent time with Rytas Vilnius, Estudiantes and the Macedonia National Team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy and excited to join Hapoel Jerusalem,\u201d D\u017eiki\u0107 said. \u201cI have many great memories about the organization and especially the fans the last time I was at the arena. I can guarantee everyone that we will work very hard as a club with passion, bravery and commitment in order to reach our common goals! We will do the best to bring in the players that have the same mindset about basketball. Yalla Hapoel!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jerusalem CEO Guy Harel commented on the hiring, \u201cWe had been searching for a high level coach and as soon as Buducnost announced he would not be retained, we moved swiftly and called Alek that same day. His record as a coach speaks for itself.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe basics of his basketball are both from the tough Serbian mentality and from his time in the NBA. He is a thorough and very experienced coach who has won titles throughout his career, and one that players love to play for. I am sure the connection with him will be successful in all respects. Now\u2019s the time to get to work.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_59825\" style=\"width: 749px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59825\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_KK_BUDUCNOST_VOLI_-_KK_CEDEVITA_0390.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"739\" height=\"546\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_KK_BUDUCNOST_VOLI_-_KK_CEDEVITA_0390.jpg 739w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_KK_BUDUCNOST_VOLI_-_KK_CEDEVITA_0390-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_KK_BUDUCNOST_VOLI_-_KK_CEDEVITA_0390-610x451.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aleksandar D\u017eiki\u0107 &#8211; Photo Credit: ABA League<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nTo find out more about what D\u017eiki\u0107 has to offer The Sports Rabbi spoke to Serbian journalist and podcaster Milo\u0161 Jovanovi\u0107 to discuss what the new Reds maestro has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally believe he&#8217;s one of the strongest Serbian Xs and Os coaches out there,\u201d Jovanovi\u0107 began. \u201cHe has a strong resume having been an NBA assistant in Minnesota &#8211; he also won an Eurochallenge trophy with the otherwise unfancied Krka Novo Mesto. He will be very insistent on discipline and strong defensive mentality &#8211; he is known to over perform with &#8220;under the radar&#8221; squads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for strengths as a coach, Jovanovi\u0107 was clear as to what D\u017eiki\u0107 will be able to thrive on, \u201cHis top strength in my opinion is the tactical approach he employs. I consider D\u017eiki\u0107 to be one of the most dangerous coaches from our region of the former Yugoslavia with time in terms of preparation. But this can also be his downfall sometimes because he has a perfectionist approach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Jerusalem\u2019s and coming stars in point guard Noam Dovrat who joined the Reds from Maccabi Rishon Le\u2019Zion midway through last season and D\u017eiki\u0107 will no doubt be able to help develop the 19-year old Jovanovi\u0107 explained, \u201cD\u017eiki\u0107 is known to have launched some point guard careers as he has worked previously with Tyrese Rice and in Budu\u0107nost he maximized what he had with Nikola Ivanovi\u0107 and Nemanja Gordi\u0107. He also had a good relationship with Justin Cobbs who performed well under him.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_59821\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59821\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_mega_buducnost_19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_mega_buducnost_19.jpg 740w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_mega_buducnost_19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/normal_mega_buducnost_19-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-59821\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aleksandar D\u017eiki\u0107 &#8211; Photo Credit: ABA League<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nIn terms of accomplishments as a head coach, Jovanovi\u0107 pointed out the 2018 Adriatic League championship, \u201cWinning the ABA with Budu\u0107nost in 2018 in definitely his biggest accomplishment. He defeated Red Star Belgrade in the finals by craftily playing to his team\u2019s strengths with what was considered a weaker roster. It\u2019s also worth noting that D\u017eiki\u0107 is only one of two coaches in the history of ABA to win an away game in the finals since a playoff format was introduced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While this won\u2019t be the first time D\u017eiki\u0107 will coach outside of his \u201cregion\u201d after having been in charge of Estudiantes a couple of years ago, Jovanovi\u0107 thinks that the Serbian will fit right into the Holy Land, \u201cI think Israel will suit him fine personally. It will do him well to get away a bit from the ABA, the pressure of working in Belgrade or Podgorica is immense and the season behind him was not the best one. He can re-focus and re-invent himself over there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hapoel Jerusalem appointed Aleksandar D\u017eiki\u0107 as their new head coach as the tactician signed a 2-year deal to guide the Reds in a surprise move that sent shockwaves through the European basketball world.
