Ergin Ataman, Efes: 'This club deserves to take a title now'

May 24, 2021 by Javier Gancedo, Euroleague.net Print Having reached the Final Four for a fourth time and the second consecutively, following on its Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Championship Game appearance in 2019, Anadolu Efes Istanbul is looking for its first European trophy in 25 years. Back in 1996, Efes became the first Turkish club in any sport to win a pan-European competition, the Korac Cup. In all those successful seasons, head coach Ergin Ataman was involved in one way or another. Enjoying his third stint with Efes, Ataman is arguably the most successful coach in Turkish basketball history. He worked for Aydin Ors as an assistant coach when Efes won the Korac Cup in 1996. After he took over as head coach, Efes made it to the Final Four for the first time in 2000. In 2019, Ataman led Efes to bigger heights, playing in its first EuroLeague Championship Game and lifting the Turkish League trophy after a decade.
