Sasa Djordjevic is close to becoming the new China national team head coach, Dejan Prlina from Maxbetsports reports.

For Djordjevic, it would be the second job with a national team. Previously, he led Serbia from 2013 to 2019.

He won three silver medals with the Serbian national team – the 2014 World Cup, the 2016 Rio de Janeiro summer Olympics, and the 2017 EuroBasket.

Djordjevic has been without a job since the summer after parting ways with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul at the end of the 2021-22 season.

Fenerbahce finished 12th in EuroLeague and became champions in the Turkish league, beating Anadolu Efes Istanbul.

In the 2023 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, China has a 4-2 record and stands in 2nd place in Group F. Top3 teams from Group E and Group F will qualify for the upcoming World Cup.
