Coaching career

Itoudis began his coaching career in 1990, when he began coaching Zagreb's Under-18 team in Croatia. In 1992, he became an assistant coach with the senior men's team of Zagreb. In 1995, he became an assistant coach with the Greek Basket League club PAOK.[citation needed]

He then became the head coach of PAOK in 1996. He was an assistant coach with the Greek club Panionios, during the 1996–97 season, before becoming the head coach of the Greek club, Philippos Thessaloniki, from 1997 to 1999. After that, he was the head coach of the Greek club MENT.[citation needed]

He then became the assistant coach of Željko Obradović, with the Greek club Panathinaikos. He worked as Panathinaikos' assistant, from 1999 to 2012. While he was Panathinaikos' assistant coach, he was a part of 5 EuroLeague championship teams (2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, 2011), 11 Greek League championship teams (2000, 2001, 2003–2011), and 7 Greek Cup winning teams (2003, 2005–2009, 2012)[citation needed]

Itoudis became the head coach of the Turkish Super League club Banvit in 2013.[1] In June 2014, he became the head coach of CSKA Moscow, signing a two-year deal.[2][3] In his first season working with the team (2014–15), CSKA Moscow won the VTB United League, after eliminating Khimki with a 3–0 series sweep in the league's finals series.[4]

In his second season with CSKA Moscow (2015–16), he became the first Greek basketball coach to win the EuroLeague championship with a foreign (non-Greek) club. On June 3, 2016, he re-signed with CSKA for three seasons.[5] In July 2016, he was named the EuroLeague Coach of the Year, for the 2015–16 season.[6]

He left CSKA Moscow in June 2022, with one year remaining on his contract.[7]

On 19 June 2022, he signed a 3-year-deal with Fenerbahçe.[8] His contract was terminated in December 2023, a year ahead of the end of his contract.

At the end of November 2024, he signed with the Israeli EuroCup team Hapoel Tel Aviv, replacing his former assistant coach Stefanos Dedas. A few months later, he won the EuroCup title.
