24 handball journalists from all over the world and handball fans appointed Ljubomir Vranjes to WORLD HANDBALL COACH 2014. After only four years of his coaching career, Ljubomir Vranjes won the VELUX EHF Champions League, with the team, who was a clear outsider at the EHF CL F4 in Cologne last May and earned sympathy all around the handball globe.

The 41-years-old Swedish coach with Serbian roots broke the dominance of the Icelandic coaches, who were the winners of the Handball-Planet.com Contest in the last three years. (handball-planet.de)
