career

His father was a lawyer and his mother a poet. As a teenager, his first sports passion was boxing , but since his father forbade him to practice martial arts, Ivković began playing basketball in 1955. He played for Radnički Belgrade until 1968 and studied geology , but never worked in this field, but instead became a coach. From 1968 he worked as a coach in the youth area of ​​Radnički Belgrade, in 1972 and 1973 he won the Yugoslav championship with junior teams. In 1976 he was also an assistant coach on the staff of the Yugoslav national youth team. In 1977 he moved to Partizan Belgrade as assistant coach , as head coach he led Partizan in the 1978/79 season to win the European club competition Korać Cup (the outstanding man in the final was Dragan Kićanović ) as well as to the Yugoslav championship and cup victory.

In 1980 he left Partizan and took up a coaching position abroad for the first time, working for Aris Thessaloniki in Greece for two years . He then returned to Belgrade and to his hometown club Radnički, whose men's team he was in charge of from 1982 to 1984. At the same time he also worked for the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia from 1983. At the Universiade 1983 , Yugoslavia's selection won silver under his direction.

At club level he worked from 1984 to 1987 as coach of Šibenka , then from 1987 to 1990 at Vojvodina Novi Sad . In 1986 and 1987 he was also a member of the Yugoslav national team, where he acted as an assistant coach. At the 1986 World Cup, Ivković won the bronze medal in this position with the national team. In 1987 he became head coach of the national team and held this position until 1991. He led Yugoslavia's team around such well-known players as Dražen Petrović , Vlade Divac , Zoran Savić , Toni Kukoč , Dino Rađa and Aleksandar Đorđević to great successes: Universiadeieger 1987, silver medal at the Olympic Games 1988, European champions 1989, 1991, world champions 1990 and European championship Bronze 1987.

In 1991 he moved back to Greece. In his tenure at PAOK Thessaloniki , which lasted until January 1994 , he was the 1992 Greek champions with the team. From 1994 to 1996 he was the coach of Panionios Athens in the same country . In 1995 he also looked after Yugoslavia's national team and became European champion with them.

In 1996 he was hired by Olympiacos Piraeus as a coach. In his first season he won the Greek championship, the cup and the Euroliga with the team that also included the German Christian Welp and a strong American in David Rivers . In the final of the European Cup Ivković defeated with Piraeus the FC Barcelona of Aito Garcia Reneses . His protégé Rivers was named the best player of the final tournament. After the successful first year Ivković did not add any titles with Piraeus until 1999. In the 1998/99 season he led Olympiakos again to the semi-finals of the Euroliga, where they were eliminated against Zalgiris Kaunas .

From 1999 to 2001 he was the head coach of AEK Athens . His first year in office was again the most successful. Under his leadership, AEK won the European club competition Saporta Cup and the Greek Cup in the 1999/2000 season . 2001 the latter title win was repeated.

CSKA Moscow secured the services of Ivković in 2002. He led CSKA to the Russian championship in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and in 2005 the Russian cup competition was also won. In the Euroleague he reached the semi-finals three times with Moscow. In 2003 he had to bow to Svetislav Pesic with ZSKA in the semifinals of FC Barcelona , who then also won the final. In 2004, his top-class team with JR Holden , Theodoros Papaloukas and other players also ended against the eventual title winner, this time Maccabi Tel-Aviv . Also in the 2004/05 season Ivković was with Moscow in the Euroleague under the last four teams, but again missed the entry into the final.

After the end of his collaboration with CSKA in 2005, he took over the coaching position at city rivals Dynamo Moscow . With the team he won the 2006 European Cup competition ULEB-Cup . He stayed in Moscow until 2007, and from 2008 to 2013 Ivković was the Serbian national coach. At the European Championships in 2009 he made the leap to the final with the team, but was powerless in this against superior Spaniards. At the World Cup a year later, he reached the semi-finals with Serbia and was eliminated from host Turkey. The game for third place was lost to Lithuania.

In the summer of 2010 he took up a second term as head coach of Olympiacos Piraeus, while continuing to work as the Serbian national coach. In 2011 Ivković won the Greek Cup with the “Reds”, and the 2011/12 season was even more successful. He led Piraeus to win the Greek championship and the Euroleague. The final win in the European competition was extremely close against his former employer CSKA Moscow with 62:61. At 68, at the time of his success, he was older than any coach of Euroleague winners before him. He was then named the best coach of the 2011/12 Euroleague season. Ivković retired as a Piraeus coach after the 2011/12 season.

In the run-up to the 2014/15 season, at the age of 70, he once again took up the position of coach for a club team and from then on looked after Anadolu Efes in Turkey. He won the Turkish Cup with Efes in 2015. He was released in April 2016.

Ivković became a member of the Technical Committee of the World Basketball Federation FIBA . He is considered the mentor of Zeljko Obradović , with whom he was close friends.
