Total Player 2023 by Dusan Mandic

December 17, 2023

Dusan Mandic, a double Olympic champion and the winner of the 2021 Total Player Award, began a new chapter in his career this year.

But his sporting ambitions remain the same and high. Mandic made his debut in the Hungarian League after joining Ferencvaros and has proved that “Fradi” made a great move by bringing the Serbian left-handed ace, who has won all possible gold medals at major competitions (Olympic Games, World Championships, European Championships, World League and World Cup).

“The players I ranked in the top 5 participated in the Champions League Final Eight and won medals at the World Championships in Fukuoka, with one exception. I also gave a preference to the players who made an exceptional contribution to their teams’ results at the World Championships while winning a medal. It was tough not to pick some players in the top 5.”
