Serbian coach Djordje Jovicic said his main priority is building player character as the team's main foundation, after being officially appointed as head coach of Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung for the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL).
Djordje's appointment is part of an organizational restructuring announced by the club in early December, following the move of Youbel Sondakh from head coach to Sporting Director.
"One of the most important foundations of a team is character, so we have to build a roster that includes players with a strong mentality, discipline, and a strong work ethic," the foreign coach said on the club's website on Tuesday.
Djordje explained that the initial stage of his work would be directed at building a team identity through strong mental standards and a strong work ethic.
