Zagorac is currently at preparations of the Serbian national team for Qualification tournament for the Olympic Games in Rio, and his decision to lead the team next season is explained in the following words:

“After reviewing the offers and talking with people from the club, I estimated that for me is the best to stay another season in Mega Leks. Five years I am in Mega, I grew along with the club and I’m proud of everything we’ve done so far, especially in the previous season. My wish is to play in the NBA next season already, but my opinion is that I wish the easiest and fastest to achieve that is by developing in a system of Mega”,
