Nottingham Hoods Confirm Return of Head Coach Vladan Dragosavac for 2025/26 Season

The Nottingham Hoods are proud to announce that Head Coach Vladan Dragosavac will continue to lead the team into the 2025/26 season. After a year marked by transformation, resilience, and growth, the Club is delighted to retain the leadership that has laid the foundations for a promising future.

In his first season in charge, Coach Dragosavac instilled a new identity and culture within the squad, navigating a highly competitive league campaign despite significant injuries to key players. His leadership emphasised development, team cohesion, and professionalism both on and off the court.

“I’m proud to continue my journey with the Nottingham Hoods,” said Coach Dragosavac. “Last season presented its share of challenges, but also showed the strength and character of this group. We’ve built a system that promotes competitiveness while providing a platform for individual and collective growth.”

“I’m grateful for the commitment shown by our players and excited about the direction we’re heading.”

Club Managing Director Russell Levenston echoed the sentiment, highlighting the importance of continuity:

“This is a major announcement for the club. Vladan has brought valuable leadership and experience in shaping the culture of the Hoods. Building continuity is vital for success, and having Vladan continue in his role is a big step forward.”

The Club will be unveiling a major infrastructure upgrade with the introduction of a new training facility and gym, now accessible to all players seven days a week — a key move in supporting the Club’s high-performance ambitions.

With recruitment and preparations already underway for next season, Coach Dragosavac added:

“I’m honoured to be part of this journey. The vision is clear, and we’re building something special.”

The Club’s leadership reaffirmed its confidence in Coach Dragosavac’s ability to guide the team into a new era. With a shared vision, enhanced resources, and a focus on sustainable growth, the Nottingham Hoods are poised to take the next step in their evolution — both on and off the court.
