After the end of the ABA League finals and the Serbian league, in which Crvena Zvezda Belgrade won both titles, it seemed that the agreement between Dejan Radonjic and the club's management was a matter of pure formality.

However, things have gone south for the Belgrade team since then. First, Nate Wolters left the team for the USA, then Austin Hollins signed a contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and then Dejan Davidovac signed with CSKA Moscow.

According to the information of the national television of Montenegro, Radonjic has made up his mind. He's going to decline Red Star's offer for a two-year contract and will lead Panathinaikos next season. More details have not been known yet, but will most likely surface on Wednesday.

After that, it was reported that Nikola Kalinic was close to signing with Barcelona, and then it was announced for the first time that Radonjic was also in talks withPanathinaikos OPAP Athens.

Subsequently, the Montenegrin coach officially stated that it was not so much the salary that was important for his new contract as the guarantee that the Serbian team would be able to field a competitive squad. The Belgrade club went public with the offer made to Radonjic, giving the Montenegrin coach three days (until June 30) to decide whether to take it or leave it.

Radonjic won 15 trophies with Crvena Zvezda over 6 seasons spent at the club, in two different terms.
