career

Božidar Maljković began his coaching career at the young age of 19 with the Yugoslav club Ušće Belgrade. After further positions at OKK Radnički and Red Star Belgrade, Maljković moved to Jugoplastika Split ( KK Split ) in 1986 . In Split he had the most successful phase of his coaching career. Between 1988 and 1990 he won the double from the Yugoslav championship and cup victory three times in a row, as well as twice the European Cup (1989, 1990). He has been voted coach of the year in Europe twice. His protégés in Split included such big names as Duško Ivanović , Toni Kukoč and Dino Rađa . Split's team of those years is considered one of the best European club teams in basketball history.

From 1990 he worked as head coach at FC Barcelona . In the 1990/91 season he reached the final of the European Cup with the Catalans, but lost there to his former team from Split. In the Spanish league it was enough for the runner-up. In November 1991 he was dismissed in Barcelona after he had criticized sports director Aíto García Reneses , the club management and the team in a "sweeping blow" .

In December 1991 he took up the position of coach at CSP Limoges in France. In Limoges he brought his philosophy based on extremely physically demanding training work and strong defense. When he took over a team as a coach, one of his first acts was always to forbid the word "tiredness", Maljković described his way of working. He became French runner-up with Limoges in 1992 and then rebuilt the team according to his ideas: With Michael Brooks and Stéphane Ostrowski , two top performers had to leave, he brought in new players with Jim Bilba , Jurij Zdovc , Michael Young and Willie Redden who matched his game idea. In 1993, Maljković won the most important competition in Europe for club teams a third time when he won the final tournament in Athens with Limoges as a blatant outsider . In 1993 and 1994, Limoges became French champions under his leadership, and also cup winners in 1994 and 1995.

In 1995 Maljković moved to the Greek record champions Panathinaikos Athens . With Panathinaikos, Maljković won the European Cup and even the Intercontinental Cup for the fourth time in 1996 with Dominique Wilkins , among others . The final in the European Cup in '96 was extremely eventful, Maljković's team won just under 67:66, a protest by FC Barcelona because of an allegedly illegal block seconds before the end of the game was rejected. In the 1997/98 season he was the coach of Paris Basket Racing . Although he had signed a three-year contract in Paris, the collaboration ended after a year. From January 1999 he was a consultant in Limoges. For the 1999/2000 season he took up the position of coach at Unicaja Málaga and remained in office until 2003. Maljković reached the two finals in the Korać Cup with Málaga 2000 , but lost there against his former team from Limoges, in 2001 he then won the competition, in 2002 he was the Spanish runner-up. He moved to Real Madrid in 2004 and led the team to win the Spanish championship in 2005. In March 2007 Maljković took up the position of coach at TAU Ceramica and led the team in the EuroLeague and in the Spanish championship to the semi-finals. Following the 2006/07 season, his activity there ended again. On December 12, 2010 he took over the Slovenian national team and from summer 2011 also coached the Russian team Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar . He was in charge of Krasnodar during the 2011/12 season. From July to November 2012 he was a coach at the Croatian club KK Cedevita , which also took part in the highest European club competition ULEB Euroleague 2012/13 , before resigning for personal reasons. He coached the Slovenian national team at the European Championships in 2011 and 2013.

In May 2017 he was elected to the position of Chairman of the National Olympic Committee of Serbia.
