 Utilizing his by now well-known penchant for hard work, twenty-year-old Danilović focused on rehabilitating his broken leg in order to regain game fitness for the start of the 1990–91 season.Meanwhile, the team went through significant changes with head coach Ćorković let go and eventually replaced with Danilović's mentor Vujošević who thus returned to the club after a largely unsuccessful episode in Spain.Another returnee with a sub-par season behind him was old favourite Paspalj, back after only a season with the Spurs.
