Dejan Radonjić

Dejan Radonjić began his professional coaching career in 2005 — a year after retiring as a player. He joined Budućnost as an assistant coach and soon became the head coach of the Podgorica team, leading them to six consecutive Montenegrin championships and national Cups.

From 2013 to 2017, and again from 2020 to 2022, Radonjić led Belgrade’s Crvena Zvezda. During this time, the Montenegrin coach became a true club legend, achieving outstanding results by guiding the team to five Adriatic League titles, five Serbian championships, and five national Cups, as well as reaching the EuroLeague quarterfinals in the 2015/16 season.

Between his two tenures at Crvena Zvezda — from 2018 to 2020 — Dejan Radonjić coached Bayern Munich, winning the German Bundesliga twice.

He started the 2022/23 season with Greek club Panathinaikos but soon left the team. His next team was Istanbul Bahçeşehir Koleji. Under Radonjić’s guidance, the team achieved some of the best results in its history, reaching the semifinals of both the Turkish Championship and the EuroCup, and earning silver medals in the FIBA Europe Cup.

It is also worth noting that Radonjić has coached the Montenegrin national basketball team, leading them at EuroBasket 2011.

In January 2026, Dejan Radonjić was appointed head coach of Zenit.
