player

The home club of the 1.96 meter tall winger is Jedinstno Bijelo Polje. From 1985 to 1987 he played in the first division of Yugoslavia at Budocnost Titograd, then from 1987 to 1990 at the league competitor KK Jugoplastica Split. With Split he won the championship title in 1988, 1989 and 1990 and the European Cup in 1989 . During his time as a player, he obtained a university degree in law . In the European Cup final against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in 1989, which was played in the Olympic Hall in Munich , Ivanović scored twelve points, in the previous semi-final against FC Barcelona 21. The teams coached by Božidar Maljković included Ivanović and other well-known players such as Toni Kukoč and Dino Rađa . In 1990 the victory in the most important European cup competition was repeated, Ivanović scored again twelve points in the final, which this time was played against Barcelona. In 1989 and 1990 he was named the best player of the championship round in the Yugoslav league.

In the run-up to the game year 1990/91 Ivanović moved to the Spanish first division club Valvi Girona . He stayed there until 1993. In his first year in Girona he scored 27.1 points per game. In the following seasons his point yield fell to 21 (1991/92) and 16.4 (1992/93) per game. He had started the 1992/93 season at the French first division club CSP Limoges  before returning to Girona.

He completed his playing career in the Swiss National League A , where he played in the 1993/94 season and in the 1995/96 season as a player- coach at Friborg Olympic .

Trainer

In 1997 he began his coaching career in Freiburg im Üechtland and was also responsible for the Swiss national team. In 1997, 1998 and 1999 the team became Swiss champions under his leadership and also cup winners in 1998 and 1999. In 1999 he left Friborg Olympic for Limoges, but remained the Swiss national coach until 2000. Despite the club's financial difficulties, he led Limoges to a very successful 1999/2000 season in which they won the French championship, the cup competition and the European Korac Cup . As a coach, Ivanović is known for placing very high demands on his players in terms of attitude and workload. The Frenchman Yann Bonato , who played under him in Limoges, said that Ivanović's training was physically not far from torture.

From 2000 to 2005 he had his first tenure with the Spanish first division club Tau Vitoria . In 2002, under his leadership as head coach, the team won the Spanish championship title and the cup competition. In 2004 he led Vitoria to win the cup again. In the Euroleague he was with Vitoria in 2001 and 2005 in the final, but lost there. During his first tenure as Vitorias head coach, players like Luis Scola , Fabricio Oberto , Andres Nocioni , Carlos Arroyo and José Manuel Calderon were among his protégés.

For the 2005/06 season he accepted an offer from FC Barcelona. Under his leadership, “Barca” won the Spanish Cup in 2006 and reached the semi-finals of the Euroleague in the same season. In mid-February 2008, he was dismissed following a quarter-final defeat in the Spanish Cup against Bilbao. At this point in time, the team had 14 wins and six losses in the league. His previous assistant Xavi Pascual became his successor in Barcelona . In summer 2008 he started his second term in Vitoria. This lasted until his release in November 2012. His undoing was that at the beginning of the 2012/13 season he and his team in the Euroleague had only won one win out of six games. Already in 2011/12, Vitoria had missed the round of the best 16 teams in the competition under Ivanović. In 2009 he won the Spanish Cup with Vitoria and in 2010 the Spanish Championship. In the final series against Barcelona in 2010 Ivanović went with his team as an outsider, but, according to Ivanović, had won the championship thanks to their willingness to work and belief in success. Tiago Splitter , Fernando San Emeterio , Marcelo Huertas and Mirza Teletovic were among the top performers in his master squad .

In 2014 and 2015 he was the national coach of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and from June 2014 he was also the head coach of Panathinaikos Athens . In April 2015 there was a separation between Ivanović and the Greek team. This was preceded by missing the Euroleague semi-finals and a loss to Olympiacos . Previously, he had led Panathinaikos to win the Greek Cup.

In mid-March 2016 he became the new coach of BK Chimki ( Russia ). His tenure ended after the 2016/17 season when his contract expired. Ivanović took up the position of coach at Besiktas Istanbul in August 2018 . In December 2019 there was a separation, in the same month he was hired again as head coach at Vitoria. He led the team to win the Spanish championship title at the end of June 2020. The final round of the ACB League was held in tournament form after an interruption due to the spread of the respiratory disease COVID-19 .
