Milan Tomic, red and white coach, in an interview for "Fosonline" on the first independent job, the days at the Olympics
Milan Tomic from the recent head of the Red Star mts profession, career – toy and coach – he spent the most at the Olympics. In Piraeus, he left the Red Cross in 1991 as a player and coach, winning European championship titles for flying out of Athens harbor a few days ago. When he decided to replace red and white Athens by Belgrade.
For the next three seasons we will see it at the back of the red star. I – if we exclude the short period when it was a "temporary solution" and after leaving George Barcokasa led Olympiakos, this will be his first independent job.
It's good to start in your country.
Serbia is considered a country with a great tradition of basketball. Is it for him that the Serb was good or bad during his career, asked Tomic .
– It is good that I am from Belgrade. And that is certainly the case, because Belgrade is the largest basketball city. Many of our players have had a great club and representative career.
And so …
– I am very happy that I will be working in Zvezda, and that my coaching career will start in Serbia, where there are all conditions to work well.
– I decided to make that decision, but I could decide the same thing years ago – he said. Tomic adding that he always wanted to work as a coach
– When you build a career, you always step one step at a time. The ultimate goal on this path is to become your first coach at one point. There are many examples where players immediately became coaches after the end of their career. However, I decided to go slowly
He added that he was afraid of nothing in his new job.
– I've all gone through this head a few times. Of course, the fear of failure is always present in the trainer's work. But, if we know who will be first in the table, the season will not even begin.
When he decided that the moment of the next step, he had done it on Malo Kalemegdan. When asked what the stars were, Tomic did not talk about the results. Already …
– The goal is to play well, quickly and safely. With good matches and a worthwhile job, we can do something. After leaving Jorgosa Barcocasa Tomic was the 2013/14 season, finishing as the first coach of Olympiacos. Although he may have been expected to continue to lead the team independently, he did not have the opportunity to do so. But he stayed in the team
– It was a difficult time when Barcokas left. We lost to Panathinaikos in the Cup, they had a lot of problems. I took the team and I think I did a good job. I was ready! At the moment when everyone thought we were lost, we convincingly defeated Valencia, and it was also a guest, we had Baskonia and Neptune

Three Parts of the History of Olympiacos
He says that there are many differences between the Milan Tomic ] and Milana Tomica coach
– After all, when I played and that basketball was different. Now everything is much faster. I think that the history of Olympiacos is divided into three parts. The first is the time when we built "the empire", the second where we had neither water nor the third when "the empire" made the shot. I went through all that with the club and it strengthened me.
But …
– After talking with them, very nice, we agreed to do what is best for Olympiacos.
Although he did not have the chance to lead the team independently, Tomic remained in the head coach of the new coach, Janis Sfaropulos . And he stayed there until Sfaropulos did not leave. And if he ever came back, if he was called by his former club, he was asked Tomic .
– You never know what life brings you. If I ever come back, everything will be completely different. But I just came to Belgrade and it is not good to talk about my return to Olympia. This club will always be in my heart. I spent 23 years there, I was part of the club since 1992 and I won.
He answered the question anyway. He will receive a call when he comes and not only … – If he does, I will surely appreciate it.
From time to time, he memorized two titles in Euroleague, winning trophies on the field the worst rival – Panathinaikos, while he was the hardest when Olympiakos lost against Huventud in Tel Aviv. And they will remember the cooperation with many great coaches – Janakis, Ivkovic, Barcokas, Sfarupulos …
– Janakis gave me the first chance, I owe him a lot. I learned a lot from him. Not only on basketball, but also on life. Duda Ivkovic is a special story. He not only created basketball, but he also taught us to think. Our time is also tied to Radnicki when he and his brother, at age 15, put me in the top five. With Barcokas, we won the Euroleague in London, which I will never forget. Sfaropulos is the man who gave me a great space as an assistant. Tomic said:
– When you are the assistant of someone, you have to adapt to all his requirements. You like it or not. It's just that, it's business. But the fact is that, as a first assistant, you have to say what you think. Because you help so much. Each coach has his own philosophy. My, as I imagine the game of my team, is closer to the one that was forced by Dusan Ivkovic.
He easily answered the question, if he could, he could bring him to the Red Star whenever he could. This is …
– Milos Teodosic
Serbian as well as among the top three foreigners who played at Olympiakos, according to Tomic . The other two are:
– Ace Lo and Kyle Hynn
When it comes to the greatest progress that he has testified, he was working there for a Greek player.
– Kostas Slukas worked day and night, and he managed to create a great career. He is now one of the best players in Europe – says Tomic.
