Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman referred to the team’s return to the EuroLeague Final Four after 18 years and the club’s target next season.

Here is what the Turkish coach said in an interview with EuroLeague.net:

“At the beginning of this season, we took 10 new players and made very good chemistry. Of course, at the beginning of the season, our goal was not to play at the Final Four.

After the season started and the team started playing very well, for me, it’s not a surprise to reach the Final Four – because we deserve it.

Yes. I believe the Final Four is not the last step for this team. We have two more games to play for the EuroLeague championship, but I believe Efes will stay at the elite level next year.”
