Year
The Alexander Gomelsky EuroLeague Coach of the Year is
an annual award of Europe's premier level basketball league, the
EuroLeague, that is given to each season's best head coach. The
award was first introduced in the 2004–05 season. The winner
of the award receives the Alexander Gomelsky Trophy, named
after the Russian head basketball coach, who among other
achievements, led Rīgas ASK to three consecutive EuroLeague
titles, between 1958 and 1960, before adding one more with
CSKA Moscow in 1971.

Željko Obradović is a 3 time EuroLeague

Head Coach of the Year (2007, 2011,
and 2017).
Pini Gershon was the first recipient of the award, after winning the 2005 EuroLeague title with Maccabi
Tel Aviv. Georgios Bartzokas and Željko Obradović won the award three times.
