Bogdan Karasic was presented by him Mars as the new coach of the team and toured Nick Galis Hall by Nikos Zisi.
Bogdan Karasic expressed his first thoughts on his collaboration with Mars.
The new technical guide of the “yellow -blacks”, after today’s commitment to the team, on the sidelines of his tour of Alexandria by Nikos Zisi, was placed through the Mars CA, initially stating:
“Personally, it means a lot to me to be part of the history of a club, such as Mars. You know he is one of the best and most historic clubs in Europe. With all the tradition and history of the club from the past. Our job here is to enjoy the process, to become the best version of ourselves. I hope we manage to bring back the story and all the pleasant memories for Mars fans. So that’s what we will try to do. “
The Serbian coach added, saying: “What I can promise to all our fans are three things: blood, sweat and tears. Whenever you open the TV, you know that Mars is playing and knowing that we will play hard basketball. We will do our best to satisfy our world and make them happy that they are Mars fans. “
He also explained that “Nikos (Zisis) is, of course, one of the main reasons I am here. When he speaks, he always says ‘honestly’ and I always say ‘to be honest’. That is why we fit so much, because honesty is something that has joined us immediately and that I think will lead to a good cooperation here. Because he is a very honest and excellent person. Legendary Greek basketball player, of course. He won many titles with the national team, both individually and as a group. So, believing in me is a great honor. Again it is a sincere relationship that extends to administration. And this is the main reason I am more happy, because the word honesty was the most common in our communication. “
Karaicic concluded: “For me success is the good and hard everyday work, which will bring good results. It is the daily job that will make us feel comfortable and make us give everything to the Mars team. Let’s have a greater passion. Let’s check it in the right way, because we want as an organization to have high values for our club. And let’s be patient, to show confidence in the process and let’s make Mars again as much as possible in Europe. “
Nikos Zisis, in turn, said: “Our main goals are to work hard, humbly, to apply the ideas we have on the parquet with the coach. There will certainly be difficulties along the way, but if we work on this reason we believe we can achieve great things. “
The General Manager of Mars continued, stressing: “The reason for the coach’s choice was complex. I think he is a coach who has a great perspective. Now, in the 2025 basketball, let’s talk that a coach is defense or attack, I think it’s not true. To be a good and stable team, you have to be able to play great basketball on both sides of the parquet. He knows how to work with young players and with evolving players. This is also part of our decision to choose it. “
In completing his position, Zisi said: “You have to have a flame within you as a human being, trying to overcome difficulties. There will be good times, difficult times. The point is to have the motivation, the flame, so that you are successful. We want to show this flame to the world of Mars and therefore to identify the world with the effort. “
