Dusko Ivanovic made a triumphant return to Vitoria, starting his journey as Virtus Bologna’s new head coach with an unforgettable win over Baskonia in the EuroLeague. The game wasn’t just another match; it was a nail-biter filled with drama that ended in favor of Virtus Bologna.

The turning point came in the final moments, thanks to Will Clyburn’s incredible performance. The American forward pulled off a game-changing four-point play that flipped the script and ended Virtus Bologna’s losing streak. His clutch play sealed the victory in a thrilling finish.

After the game, Ivanovic reflected on the intense matchup and the decisive moment from Clyburn. “We were fortunate, but this win was unbelievable. Basketball is all about believing and fighting until the very last second, and tonight was proof of that,” Ivanovic said.

Although Ivanovic was appointed as Virtus Bologna’s head coach last week, he wasn’t able to guide the team in earlier games against Crvena Zvezda in the EuroLeague or Olimpia Milano in the Italian league. His official debut came against Baskonia, and he made it count by securing a much-needed victory.

While Virtus Bologna’s current EuroLeague record stands at 3-12, they are now 1-0 under Dusko Ivanovic’s leadership, bringing a renewed sense of hope to the team.
