Bartzokas is the best coach of the year
For a second season in a row, the coach of Olympiacos is announced to be coach of the year for the Euroleague. Last season it was Dusan Ivkovic that won the award and this season it is Giorgos Bartzokas.
The man who led Olympiacos to winning the Euroleague back to back was voted by his peers as the best coach of the competition and on Thursday, July 4, 2013 he will be receiving his award during the Euroleague draw for the 2013-14 season.
Giorgos Bartzokas spoke to Olympiacosbc.gr for the honor received: "What counts for the sport we have chosen to serve are obviously club titles. It's certain though that a personal achievement like this one gives you great joy and strength. I would like to dedicate this award to the Presidents of the team who chose me to run it and gave me the opportunity to lead these amazing players and to my associates for doing a great job".
