Ole Miss Basketball Adds International Coaching Powerhouse Petar Aleksić to Chris Beard's Staff

Veteran FIBA coach, seven-time Swiss Coach of the Year and former Swiss National Team leader reunites with Chris Beard as Rebels strengthen their championship aspirations ahead of the 2026-27 season.

OXFORD, Miss. | Ole Miss men's basketball has added one of Europe's most accomplished basketball minds to its coaching staff, as head coach Chris Beard announced the hiring of Petar Aleksić as an assistant coach, bringing decades of international coaching experience and championship success to Oxford.

Aleksić arrives after nearly 35 years in European basketball as both a player and coach, adding a global perspective to a Rebels program that continues to build toward SEC and NCAA Tournament success.

The move also reunites Beard with a longtime coaching colleague. The two previously worked together with the Swiss National Team, helping engineer one of the nation's most memorable international victories.

"Petar has built a reputation as a winner everywhere he's coached," Beard said. "His experience developing players, leading championship programs and competing at the highest levels of European basketball brings tremendous value to our staff. He's a teacher, a proven leader and someone who shares our commitment to building a championship culture at Ole Miss."
