Coaching career

[edit]

Ivanović's coaching career started with Sisley Fribourg, in the 1993–94 season, where he was both a player and an assistant coach, working as a player-coach. In the 1994–95 season, he was an assistant coach of Valvi Girona. After that, he was the head coach of Fribourg Olympic (1995–1999), the senior Swiss national basketball team (1997–2000), CSP Limoges (1999–2000), TAU Cerámica (2000–2005), and FC Barcelona (2005–2008), from which he resigned, on 14 February 2008.

For the 2008–09 season, he was back at Vitoria, again working as the head coach of Caja Laboral, a position he held until November 2012, when he was fired.[1]

On 10 June 2014, Ivanović signed a two-year contract with the Greek League team Panathinaikos.[2] On 3 May 2015, after a 66–77 home game loss to Panathinaikos' arch rivals, Olympiacos, he parted ways with the team.[3]

On 15 March 2016, Ivanović was hired as the new head coach of the Russian club Khimki.[4] On 29 June 2017, he parted ways with Khimki.[5]

On 20 August 2018, he signed a one-year deal with Beşiktaş.[6] In December 2019, Ivanović left Beşiktaş, to return as head coach for Kirolbet Baskonia, once again. On 15 November 2021, he was fired again by Baskonia.

On 14 November 2022, Ivanović signed a two-year contract with the Serbian team Crvena zvezda, joining one day after the firing of head coach Vladimir Jovanović who was let go following a poor start in EuroLeague with only one win in 7 games.[7]
