Career

Dusan Sakota has long been considered one of the greatest young talents in Greek basketball. The son of well-known Serbian coach Dragan Šakota started his career at AEK Athens before moving to Panathinaikos Athens in the summer of 2003 . With Panathinaikos Sakota was able to win five national championships and four cup victories in 2007 and 2009, the most prestigious European club competition ULEB Euroleague . With the U-19 national youth team of Greece, Sakota won the bronze medal at the Junior World Championships in 2003. In the 2007/2008 season, Sakota was awarded to Panionios Athens . After another triple win with Panathinaikos, Sakota moved to Scavolini Pesaro in Italy in 2009 .

25 April 2010 Sakota hit in a game against Teramo Basket with Giuseppe Poeta together. At first he continued to play, but had to undergo an operation on the duodenum the following night and almost two days later to stop internal bleeding. After a year of convalescence , Sakota made his comeback with the Belgian club Telenet from Ostend at the beginning of the 2011/12 season . At the turn of the year he switched to the Russian professional league at Yenisei in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia .

For the 2012/13 season Sakota moved again to Italy and played for the most successful European club, the 1970s Pallacanestro Varese, which, however, has fluctuated between the first and second Italian league in the past decade.
