Ataman’s astonishing statement about Ancelotti: “I’m better”

Panathinaikos Aktor’s coach, Ergin Ataman, was a guest on the Italian program “Sport Club”, where he talked, of course, about the Greens, but also about Italian basketball.

Even when the show host said “Wherever you go you win, you are like Ancelotti.”The disarming response came from Ergin Ataman, who said “I am better”.

The comparison was not a coincidence, as Ataman won the European League with the treble in basketball, while Carlo Ancelotti won the Champions League with Real Madrid in football.

The Turkish coach commented on his presence at Panathinaikos Aktor, saying: “From the first day I arrived in Athens I saw a lot of respect. In all the teams I coached there were historic successes, including Panathinaikos.”

As for whether he would take a player from Virtus, he answered: “Now I’m thinking about the finals in Greece. Many agents are recommending players to us, but the league has to finish first.”

In the case of Singelia: “It’s not just him. There are teams with great players that didn’t make the playoffs.”
