When Partizan's head coach Zeljko Obradovic arrived at the post-game press conference, a usual phrase presenting him to the media followed. However, Zeljko Obradovic was presented as Dusko Obradovic, a mix between him and the rival Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade's head coach Dusko Ivanovic.

The legendary coach was initially surprised. "Dusko might be someone else, I'm certainly not," he said.

Obradovic tried to restart the conference from the beginning but Derby's representative was still confused.

"You don't know my name?" Obradovic asked."I know," the man said."What is it?""Dusko Obradovic"

The legendary coach then burst out laughing. After a reporter suggested that there might be a hidden camera somewhere to capture the prank, the entire room started laughing. The presenter eventually corrected himself and apologized.

"Come on, enjoy! Everything is good! A bit of a joke, thank God, it's ok," Obradovic calmed him down.
