As head coach:
Aleksandar Džikić (Serbian: Александар Џикић; born 23 March 1971) is Serbian professional basketball coach. He currently serves as a head coach of Partizan.
He began his coaching career in 1991 leading the Partizan's youth squad, before being promoted to second assistant for the Partizan full squad. In 1994, he was named lead assistant coach for Beovuk before advancing to become the club's head coach for two seasons (1997–98 and 1999).
In 1999, Džikić was named assistant coach at KK Partizan, assisting head coach Nenad Trajković. Darko Russo took over the head coaching post in summer 2000 while Džikić remained the assistant. In summer 2001 Duško Vujošević returned as the head coach of Partizan, and Džikić once again continued in his assistant role, helping the team to four consecutive Serbia and Montenegro league titles from 2002 to 2005.
While working at Partizan under Vujošević, Džikić got his first taste of the NBA through Summer League coaching stints with San Antonio Spurs in 2003, Seattle SuperSonics in 2004, and Minnesota Timberwolves in 2005.
After completing his 2005 Summer League coaching stint with the club at Target Center, in August 2005 Minnesota Timberwolves offered Džikić an assistant coaching position on their staff, which he accepted. He thus became the first NBA assistant coach with no prior coaching experience in the United States at either the collegiate or professional level. Additionally, he became just the second European native to become an NBA assistant coach, after Igor Kokoškov became assistant coach on the LA Clippers staff in 2000.
