Basketball-Fenerbahce's Obradovic seeking a record ninth title

BERLIN, May 11 (Reuters) - The Euroleague's most successful coach Zeljko Obradovic will be aiming to add a ninth trophy to his collection when he takes Turkish giants Fenerbahce Istanbul to the Final Four of basketball's premier club competition next weekend.

The 56-year old Serb won five of his record eight titles with Greek outfit Panathinaikos and one each with Real Madrid, Joventud Badalona and Partizan Belgrade.

Fenerbahce are favourites to win the Euroleague, which no other Turkish club has done. After several years of heavy investment, the club boasts an array of European household names and several former NBA campaigners.
