INTERNATIONAL RETIREMENT
He retired from international water polo after the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (fina.org, 01 Oct 2021)
RETURN TO SERBIA
After joining Greek side Olympiacos Piraeus in 2019, he returned to Serbia in January 2021 when the league competition in Greece was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "Since my arrival at Olympiacos, it happened twice that I did not train for 20 or more days. Such breaks are not good in the Olympic year. I talked to Olympiacos management, and I explained the situation. Besides, there were some bureaucratic troubles. The only solution was to leave Greece. The management of Olympiacos understood me and I returned to Serbia." (total-waterpolo.com, 25 Dec 2020) |
