TOP Handball news of the week is that legendary THW Kiel’s coach from the last two decades Zvonimir Noka Serdarusic is back to the handball bench in ambitious French team – Pays d’ AIX. Legendary coach who worked in RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko and Slovenian NT until 2010, in the last three years didn’t have any function in handball. He will work as an consultant of the French team in order to improve all the aspects of the Aix’s organisation in the next four months.
