Vladislav Lučić ( Serbian - Cyrillic Владислав Лучић ; born August 7, 1941 in Belgrade , Yugoslavia ) is a former Serbian basketball coach and player. After Lučić himself had been a player at Roter Stern as a young man , he became the club's youth coach in his mid-twenties. From 1970 he first worked as a coach of women's teams , with whom he won four national championships and three cup competitions in the course of his career, as well as African national teams. In the latter position he won the African Championship in 1981 with the Ivorian men's selection . After coaching the men's teams of Partizan and Roter Stern, with whom he won two Yugoslav championships, he was the successor of his compatriot and friend Svetislav Pesic in the post of national coach of the German men's national team from 1994 to 1997 . After further activities as a coach in his Belgrade homeland, he was briefly president of KK Roter Stern Belgrade in 2010.

Career

Lučić, who himself had played basketball at Roter Stern until 1967, concentrated on coaching in his mid-twenties and was initially a coach in the youth division of Roter Stern. In 1970 he was then coach of the women's team of local rivals Partizan. He stayed that way for five years, during which time he could not celebrate any major successes. From 1975 he was the national coach of the Nigerian men's selection in his main activity and remained so for four years. At the African Cup of Nations in 1981 he was the coach of the Ivorian selection , which was able to win the competition for the first time after two silver medals in previous events. At the World Cup finals in Colombia in 1982 , however, they lost all seven games and finished 13th and last. At the Africa Cup of Nations in 1983 , the defending champions lost the semi-finals against the host and eventual title winner Egypt . In the “small final” for the bronze medal they lost to Senegal as in the preliminary round and were without a medal for the first time after three tournaments. Afterwards, Lučić's main focus shifted back to his Yugoslav homeland.

In the 1985/86 season Lučić succeeded Zoran Slavnić as coach of the men's team from Partizan Belgrade, which was the first time he took over a men's team at the highest level as responsible coach. However, Lučić was soon replaced by his assistant Duško Vujošević and coached women's teams again from 1987, where he now achieved title successes for the first time at club level with the selection of his home club Red Star and won the Yugoslav championship in 1989. In the Yugoslav women's cup competition, however, it was only enough to make it into the finals. From 1990 Lučić worked abroad again and coached the women's team from Challes-les-Eaux in Savoy , with which he won two French championships in 1991 and 1992. 1992 Lučić was then also coach of the men's team from Red Star as the successor to Duško Vujošević. With the runner-up he was able to defeat the reigning European Cup winner and defending champion Partizan in the final series in 1993 , who, however, had lost coach and players abroad after the triumph in the previous year. In the following season, the team was able to defend the title against Partizan with the young center player Dejan Tomašević . Then you had to accept the loss of his builder Saša Obradović , who was brought to ALBA Berlin by Svetislav Pešić , while the 17-year-old junior player Peja Stojaković moved to Greece.

Svetislav Pešić, who had surprisingly won the 1993 European Championship in Germany with the German men's national team before he worked as a club coach at ALBA , at the same time recommended his compatriot Lučić as his successor in the office of national coach, which in the meantime was Dirk Bauermann's interim coach at the 1994 World Cup had been filled out. After Roter Stern could not repeat the successes from the two previous years, Lučić finally lost his job as a club coach in 1995 and concentrated on working as a national coach. With the German national team, Lučić only cautiously initiated a restructuring of the reigning European champion, which was adjusted back to normal at the European Championship finals in 1995 before the surprise success in 1993 in his own country. Without the European champion Mike Jackel , who had ended his national team career, the absent Henning Harnisch and Stephan Baeck , an otherwise essentially European champions only won the game against the winless hosts Sweden in six preliminary round matches . Two years later, Lučić turned the situation around, as some long-time players had ended their national team careers. Except for the European champions Henning Harnisch and Henrik Rödl and Sascha Hupmann , no player was older than 24 years. The 19-year-old up-and-coming player Dirk Nowitzki , who played in the 2nd Bundesliga and had not yet played in professional leagues or international men's competitions, was not represented. But the rebuilding had a disappointing result too, when the 1997 European Championship finals only won against Ukraine in the preliminary round. After further defeats in the intermediate and placement rounds they finally finished twelfth in Catalonia and Lučić 'contract as a selection coach was not extended.

In the 1997/98 season Lučić was the third head coach this season again coach of Red Star in his hometown. In the international Korać Cup 1997/98 the team around Milenko Topić , in whose ranks next to the young Jovo Stanojević and Igor Rakočević also the later basketball Bundesliga coach Igor Perović stood, the final games against Riello Mash Verona , in whose ranks with the Long-time German national team captain Hansi Gnad was also a former protégé from Lučić's German episode. After the first leg success in Verona, however, they lost the second leg in Belgrade with nine points difference, which was three points too much in the final account. After defending champion Partizan weakened in the national championship, Lučić was able to lead Red Star into the final series against runner-up FMP Železnik. After an opening win and a defeat in the second game, however, Lučić was surprisingly released from his duties and Mihailo Pavićević was briefly enthroned. Red Star won the following games and became champions again. Partizan dominated the Yugoslav and Serbian championships in the following years, so that Lučić was involved in the only three title successes of Red Star in the national championship since the separation of the former Yugoslavia in 1992 as a coach (as of 2013). Partizan also "tore up" many coaches in these years, and so Lučić was briefly coach of Partizan in the following season, with whom he won the national cup competition in 1999, and in the 1999/2000 season again for a few games at Red Star. From 2000 he took over the women's team from Roter Stern for a longer period, which he was able to lead to a double in 2004 after two series defeats in 2001 and 2003 and the 2003 cup win . After this success, Lučić ended his career as a coach of teams in the top divisions in 2004.

In the first half of 2010, Lučić was briefly president of the basketball department of Red Star. He tried to bring about a merger with local rivals FMP Železnik in the chronically clammy men's team, but this was not to follow until a year later, and at the end of June 2010 he made his office available again.

Remarks

  1. The Munzinger Archive ascribes him a European Championship silver medal with the Yugoslav women's selection. However, this was trained over a longer period of time by Milan Ciga Vasojević and there are no references to this medal win by Lučić in other sources.
  2. On this website he is also credited with championships and a cup victory with the women's team from Partizan. Partizan won national championships only between 1984 and 1986, in which Lučić was temporarily coach of the men's team of Partizan.
