It is worth mentioning, that Obradovic captured the first spot in all three categories of voters – head coaches, basketball journalists, and fans.

Obradovic took over Partizan ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. Zeljko navigated the Belgrade club to the ABA League semi-finals directly from the regular season.

Partizan finished second with a record of 22-4 and improved their regular-season balance over last season by 9 wins. Their archrivals Crvena Zvezda got the first ABA spot (24-2) this campaign.

Partizan's season has already come to the end in the other competition. They were eliminated by Frutti Extra Bursaspor in the 7DAYS EuroCup eight finals.
