KK Skopje appoints Aleksandar Petrovic as new head coach
The current vice‑champion brings back the experienced coach as the team sits bottom with one win from six rounds.
KK Skopje has named Aleksandar Petrovic as its new head coach, the club announced on 13.11.2026 8:55. The move follows the parting of ways with Mirko Petreski and aims to arrest a poor run of results for the current Macedonian league vice-champion.
Petrovic returns to coaching after leaving Gostivar in February this year. He brings extensive experience from a long career in domestic basketball and is remembered for leading MZT Skopje to a national championship title.
Throughout his career Petrovic has also worked with Pelister, Akademija FMP, Kumanovo and Karpos Sokoli, among others, giving him wide familiarity with the local scene.
Immediate challenge
He inherits a difficult situation at KK Skopje: after six rounds the team has managed just one win and sits at the bottom of the top-division table. Management have tasked Petrovic with turning results around quickly.
Petrovic will hold his first training with the squad today and is scheduled to make his match debut on Sunday in an away game at Shtip.
The appointment signals a clear push by the club to rely on an experienced coach to stabilise performances and climb the standings in the coming weeks.
