As a player, he won an amazing 13 medals in the best international tournaments.
“Getting the invitation from Montenegro is a great honor for me, and I see it as a great chance to work together to make things happen. A lot of years, we’ve been friends and great foes in sports. That’s why coming to Montenegro feels like coming to see friends. Because of this, this task will be both a great pleasure and a big duty for me, and I will give it my all”, Savić said.
Dejan Savić will be Montenegro’s first official match as head coach. It will be in Bucharest from January 7–12, 2020, for the A Division World Cup qualification event.
