ABOUT THE SLOVENIAN NATIONAL TEAM
“For me, the priority now is on Barça. With the national team, we have two windows. It won’t be easy, but I have full confidence in my technical team. Obstacles are easy to overcome if you trust your staff. I think it’s a possibility, but we’ll see how we do it,” he details.
ABOUT THE PLAYING STYLE
“The things that are important to me is that the team fights and plays together. It’s the most important thing. Obviously, I like to play a fast pace, with more possessions and have an aggressive defense, with a lot of intensity on the court.”
“Barça always competes for titles. They have had some unfortunate recent seasons. The greatest success is when fans recognize the team’s style of play. Obviously the titles would be the reward,” he says.
ABOUT THE PIVOT TO SIGN

As always, “We are exploring the market and we will see if we find our solution that fits the team”. Regarding a possible replacement for Shengelia, he assures that “if it makes sense, we will do it, but now I think we have a competitive roster.”
ABOUT YOUTH IN THE TEAM

There are some who do not have Euroleague experience, but I believe that all the signed players are capable of playing our style. The team will need more time than normal for obvious reasons, but I think we have talent and we need to work on it to make it play the way we want,” he says.
“I don’t want to talk a lot about individuals, each one will be important and what I want is to build a team and a chemistry between everyone. I don’t want to comment too much on what happened at Barça in the past, but it is clear that this club wants to compete for all the titles. and it is one of our objectives for next season,” details the new Barça coach.
ABOUT THE SIGNINGS
“There are many new players, some of them decided before my signing and Others I had some margin to be able to decide which ones fit best into our team idea.”
ABOUT THE ENDESA LEAGUE
“For me, being part of the culture of Barcelona, which is more than a club, is something that I take with great honor. Regarding the Endesa League, I know it a lot, I think it is the best domestic competition in Europe because of the players, teams and coaches. It will be a very big challenge because of the new players, but I hope we will exceed expectations,” explains Sekulic.
“I HOPE WE EXCEED EXPECTATIONS”
“There is a little more pressure because it is a year with many new players for a season in which I hope that with the people who surround us and help us we will make the season exceed expectations. “I can’t wait to feel the energy of the Palau and its fans.”
“It is an honor to be here. I want to thank Joan Laporta for trusting me in this important moment and for this important club. It is a great responsibility to be in one of the best teams in Europe”
