Olimpia Milano: Marko Guduric, the bet of Ettore Messina

The moment Nikola Mirotic made it known that he had a desire to get involved elsewhere, Olimpia Milano was, immediately, looking for a player who could take his place within the team: a leader capable of setting an example for all his teammates and, above all, one capable of making a difference on the court.

Coach Hector Messima has decided to bet on Marko Guduric. The 30-year-old Serbian has made the fortunes of Fenerbahce. He has won everything with the Turkish club, including the’Euroleague together with all’former biancorosso Nicolò Melli. At Fener since 2017 (except for a small NBA interlude), he has become one of the pillars of the team over the years, always providing excellent quality and a lot of leadership.

Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce coach, never wanted him to leave but Marko Guduric felt the need to excel elsewhere. Olimpia’s offer was the best, especially at the design level.

Together with Lorenzo Brown, his partner at Fenerbahce, the 30-year-old Serbian is expected to take the red and white team on his shoulders is drag it to success. His great experience in the Euroleague (four Final Fours played), makes him the ideal player to reopen a new cycle. Olimpia Milano used to belong to Nikola Mirotic, now it belongs to Marko Guduric.
