Head coach Jurica Golemac leaves Dubai Basketball

Dubai: Dubai Basketball and Jurica Golemac have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect.

The decision comes at a decisive time in Dubai’s season with the side still battling for a place in the EuroLeague play-offs.

Appointed in the summer of 2024, Golemac played a key role in the club’s first two seasons, including its debut campaign in the ABA League, where Dubai Basketball finished third after reaching the semifinals.

This season, in the club’s debut EuroLeague campaign, he led the team in 59 games across the EuroLeague (37) and the ABA League (22). With one EuroLeague regular season game remaining, Dubai Basketball currently holds a 19–18 record and sits 11th in the standings.

In the ABA League, the team is 19–3 and currently shares first place with KK Partizan Belgrade.

Jan Šentjurc will serve as interim head coach for Monday’s game against Budućnost.
