Basketball champions FC Bayern Munich have clinched their next victory under Svetislav Pesic and cemented their lead in the BBL.
In a catch-up game on matchday 11, FCB won on Sunday against the strong newcomers Gladiators Trier with 94:83 (56:42).
In the last home game of the year – the 84th and last competitive game for FC Bayern in 2025 follows on New Year’s Eve at the Rostock Seawolves – world and European champion Andreas Obst (15 points) was the most successful thrower for Munich. At Trier, Jordan Roland stood out with 24 points. In front of 11,500 spectators in the sold-out SAP Garden, FCB celebrated their eleventh win in their twelfth league game. Trier is still third in the table despite their fourth defeat.
Pesic (76) was surprisingly installed last Monday as the successor to the dismissed Gordon Herbert. The Serbian coaching legend, coach of the German European champion team in 1993, signed a contract until the end of the season.
As FCB sports director Dragan Tarlac said on the Dyn microphone at halftime of the Trier game, there had been no discussion about filling the head coach position for the coming season. Pesic brought the “fresh input” that was expected from him.
