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

In a statement released by the club, Dubai Basketball thanked the Slovenian for his professionalism, commitment, and dedication throughout his time in the city.

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 is 11th in the standings.

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

Jan Sentjurc will serve as interim head coach for Monday’s game against Buducnost.
