With Ivanovic in charge, Baskonia won all three ACB titles in 2002, 2010, and 2020.

Meanwhile, Spahija recently worked in China with Shanghai Sharks. Back in the 2019-20 season, he was the assistant for the Memphis Grizzlies.

The last time he coached a EuroLeague team was back in the 2017-18 season when he was a head coach of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv.
