The 65-year-old says that the fans and team will have to be patient with their new point guard.

"Campazzo is a player who has a lot of experience, he proved himself in the EuroLeague, but he hasn't played recently while he was in the US, so he will need time to find the rhythm," Ivanovic said after Zvezda's win in the Adriatic league. "In any case, we hope that he will help us achieve our goals."

"It will take time for him to fit in. It is usually said that a team is only as strong as its strongest and weakest player. Wewill see," added Ivanovic.

Meanwhile, Luka Mitrovic also revealed that he's excited about Campazzo's arrival.

"We're still getting to know each other. I watched him, played against him. I'm looking forward to it, especially as a center. We can't wait for him to play," said Mitrovic.

On Thursday, Crvena Zvezda will face Olympiacos. Ivanovic praised the upcoming opponent by claiming that the Greek club is a clear Final Four candidate.

"Olympiacos is one of the most definite candidates for the Final Four. They know each other very well, they play automatically. They are great in defense and in the attack. Statistically, they are perhaps the best team so far. It will be very difficult. These guys have the character to win everything, so we will see," Ivanovic concluded.
