"It was an easy decision to return!" Obradović's first interview since his PAO comeback: "I hope to see Bonga here"

"Honestly, I didn't expect so many people to show up. It's clear they love me. It's nice to talk about the past, but the future is what matters most now. This is a huge opportunity for me and my career. I thank Dimitris Giannakopoulos for giving me the chance to return. I found many people I've worked with before. We need patience to build what we want. I've come to a team I deeply love. I spoke with Dimitris Giannakopoulos, and we understood each other. It was an easy decision. I have an immense fire within me." - Željko Obradović

"I spoke with Mike, and he will be here. He knows Panathinaikos' history. I'm happy to work with people who love Panathinaikos. We must show everyone that we are a big family, and this is my path." - Željko Obradović

"I will adapt my philosophy to the quality of the players. Not just now, but in every environment. It's not easy, but I have to help everyone understand how I work. I like to talk to players. I spoke with Sloukas; he's the team captain. I met Nunn and Juancho, as well as almost all the Greek players. I will talk to everyone depending on the schedule. How do you fight rumors? It's summer now, so rumors are normal. I suppose they have to write something." - Željko Obradović

"Who knows? Maybe one day I'll see Bonga here, I hope so." - Željko Obradović
