"There are moments when I wonder, 'What's next? What more could I do to boost the morale of the players?'" Obradovic said in the post-game press conference, sparking discussions about his possible departure from the club, knowing that his contract ends after the 2023-24 season.

Partizan are currently on a five-game losing streak, including games both domestically and internationally, marking the biggest such streak while Obradovic is under the helm of the organization.

The players were even booed and confronted by local fans after Thursday's loss.Amidst the losing streak, the club's president, Ostoja Mijailovic, went out and expressed support for both the head coach and the players.

"Since many people are interested in one topic today, and I did not respond to anyone in particular, I confirm that Zeljko Obradovic, the players, and all employees of the club have my support. There are no rumors, the only truth is that we are in a crisis of results. But it is important that everyone knows how stable the club is and that it functions smoothly. We are all a black-and-white family, both when we win and when we lose," Mijailovic wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
