Even though his career has taken him to new horizons and top-level challenges on the CSM Bucharest bench, the bonds built on court through work and passion never fade. Today is a very special day for our community: we celebrate the birthday of our former coach, Branko Gajic!
An unforgettable legacy
For a whole year, Coach Branko was the architect of our dreams at the net. He taught us what rigour means, instilled a winning mentality in our girls and turned hard work in the gym into achievements we will always keep in our hearts. We will never forget how, under his guidance, we lived the excitement of semi-final tournaments with all three teams, the joy of a national top-8 place with the U15s and the pride of representing the club at the Cornacchia World Cup.
Beyond tactics and results, Bane was a mentor who believed in every child and left behind a generation of players who are stronger, more united and more confident. Packed suitcases, long journeys and sleepless nights in hotels never mattered to him – he was there for every win, but above all for every hard moment, giving us the strength to get up and attack again.
Our birthday thoughts
On his birthday, the whole club family – from management and technical staff to players and parents – comes together to send him our most sincere wishes.
Dear Coach Branko,
We wish you a warm “Happy birthday!”, good health, endless energy and peace of mind! May you have a fabulous year, full of inspiration on the sideline and brilliant wins with CSM Bucharest. We hope the new chapter in your career brings you all the trophies you deserve and satisfaction to match your titanic work.
Never forget that here, in our hall, you will always have a second home and a crowd that will support you and celebrate every success of yours.
