FC Bayern Munich has strengthened its backcourt with the signing of guard Nenad Dimitrijevic. The deal is for the remainder of the season with an option for a second season. The move comes on the heels of the announcement that Spencer Dinwiddie has left the team. Dimitrijevic (1.90 meters, 27 years old) arrives from Zenit St Petersburg, where he averaged 11.5 points and 5.7 assists across 10 VTB United League games this season.
“Munich is a great and highly respected organization, and when Coach Pesic calls you, it’s an honor and a no-brainer,” he told the club's website. “I really wanted to return to the EuroLeague and want to help win as many games as possible right away. The team wants to win the league, the cup, and fight for a playoff spot in the EuroLeague until the very last game. I will bring all my energy and fighting spirit so that we have a chance to win every game.”
Dimitrijevic made his EuroLeague debut last season with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. Over 27 appearances in Europe’s premier competition – including 7 starts, he contributed 7.6 points and 2.9 assists per game. He averaged 9.5 points and 3.0 assists in 17:28 minutes in two games against Bayern. Dimitrijevic previously starred for UNICS Kazan, where he helped the team win the 2023 VTB championship and was named MVP of the playoffs.
A Joventut Badalona academy product, Dimitrijevic played five senior seasons there – including two EuroCup campaigns – before moves to Valencia Basket, UNICS, Milan, Zenit, and now Bayern. A regular with the North Macedonia national team, he brings Bayern a blend of shot creation, floor spacing, tempo management, and leadership – qualities poised to deepen the backcourt rotation and sharpen the team’s late-season ambitions.
