In Las Palmas is Jaka Lakovic A name that arouses respect, raised thumb and smile at every turn. During our conversation in a cozy cafe on the promenade next to the central city beach of Las Canteras, a Slovenian basketball expert received numerous favorable views and discreet greetings of approval of open and direct Spaniards. At 46, the Ljubljana man has an enviable coaching career. In the last three seasons, he has achieved historical success with Gran Canario. At the beginning of the week, he extended cooperation with canaries until at least summer 2027.

Jaka, first congratulations on the renewal of the contract with the club, with which you have achieved historical results in three seasons.

Thanks, the feelings are really good. We have been talking about further cooperation for some time, and due to numerous obligations we have only now officially confirmed the agreement. I am glad, I believe that the continuity of the work produces good results. We continue in the same band, and the President and the sports director have extended the contracts, so will be with all members of the professional management. I have great people with me, here my family also feels great, we have adapted very well to the living conditions here. Children have become real canaries, and they also master the language dialect. I feel great both professional and private here. So it is logical to continue with Gran Canario.
