Milan Tomić is set to return to Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet as sporting director, a major move confirmed by Meridian Sport.

Led by president Željko Drčelić, the club has quietly secured this coup, building on the recent official signing of Chima Moneke two days ago, fulfilling a long-held wish of the red-and-white faithful.

Proven Track Record with Championship Pedigree

Tomić, who coached Crvena Zvezda to ABA League and Serbian titles in 2019 and returned them to the EuroLeague, will take on an enhanced role. His successful four-year stint with Ioannis Sfairopoulos at Olympiacos—yielding two Greek titles and two EuroLeague finals with a young squad—highlights his ability to spot talent and maximize veterans, a skill set now aimed at Belgrade.

Strategic Leadership Boost

This appointment strengthens Crvena Zvezda’s sporting sector, with Tomić’s history of unearthing under-the-radar signings and extending players’ peaks. Alongside Moneke’s €3.4M deal, it signals a bold offseason strategy, potentially reuniting him with Sfairopoulos, enhancing the club’s competitive edge for 2025-26.
