Serbian basketball icon Dejan Bodiroga on Wednesday was named EuroLeague's new president and director.
"We are entering a new era for EuroLeague. The past 20 years have seen Europe’s premier basketball competition establish itself as a powerhouse in global sports," Bodiroga, 49, said on the league's official website.
In a nod to EuroLeague's founder Jordi Bertomeu, who Bodiroga is succeeding after 22 years at the post, he added: "I'd like to thank Jordi Bertomeu and his team for their vision and hard work and look forward to continuing to build and expand the impact of EuroLeague and EuroCup.”
Bodiroga is seen as one of the greatest players of all time, after lifting three EuroLeague trophies with Panathinaikos and Barcelona during a legendary career.
He formerly served as vice-president of the Serbian Basketball Federation and president of the Competition Commission of FIBA Europe.
