CONVERGE will bring in Rajko Toroman and Djordje Jovicic as team consultants for the coming PBA Season 50.
The two Serbian coaches will be assisting newly-installed FiberXers head coach and Pampanga vice governor Dennis ‘Delta’ Pineda.
Toroman, the coach of the Philippine national team during the Smart Gilas days, is set to return to the FiberXers after being part of the staff during the time when Franco Atienza and Charles Tiu handled the team last season.

Jovicic, meanwhile, has been with the Pampanga Giant Lanterns coaching staff in the MPBL and the Pampanga Delta age-group teams.
Jovicic once coached the Pelita Jaya Basketball Team in Indonesia in 2023, and an assistant coach of different Serbia national youth squads.
“Coach Rajko will be coming (after) mga five days from now,” Pineda said during Sunday’s PBA Draft. “Nandoon na si coach Rajko at iba pang Serbian coach na kasama sa juniors ng Pampanga, kinausap ko rin siya to help me dito sa team."
“Matagal ko na rin nakasama ‘yung dalawa especially si coach Rajko. Malaking bagay na consultant ko talaga. Ako naman as a coach, okay naman ako sa lahat ng suggestions sa ikakaganda ng team,” he continued.
Pineda also said Atienza remains with the team, as seen during the draft where he was at the Converge table.
“All staff nandyan pa rin… Tulung-tulong lahat, walang mawawala. Magtutulong kaming lahat for the team,” said Pineda.
