The playmaker joins after three and a half years in Berlin to the Hungarian top club Telekom Veszprem. Nenadic: "I had a very good time in Berlin and am grateful to the club for everything. I wish the that Füchse continues to be so successful and they get many titles. I will enjoy the next games and throw everything in."
