Panathinaikos's failure to reach the Euroleague Final Four in their home court is likely to cost Ergin Ataman his job as head coach. The Greek media has been increasingly critical of Ataman since their elimination by Valencia after leading 2-0 in the series. Meanwhile, Greek sports portal "Totalbasket" suggests that Željko Obradović is the frontrunner to replace Ataman. Obradović, who coached Panathinaikos from 1999 to 2012, transformed the club's history, leading them to the pinnacle of European basketball. During his tenure, he won 11 titles in Greece, seven national cups, and five Euroleague trophies in 2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2011. Obradović, the most decorated coach in Euroleague history with nine titles, has the potential to once again bring glory to the "green" team.
