Athletistic / Basketball CSKA President Andrei Vatutin has said when the club will decide on the candidacy of a new head coach after the resignation of Dimitris Itoudis, and paid tribute to the Greek specialist.

“Just look at the number of titles Itoudis won for CSKA. He devoted himself completely to the team, was a patriot of the club. I can only congratulate Dimitris.

It’s a shame he left CSKA, but that’s how life went. His contribution to the victory is invaluable, we have cups at CSKA. He went down in the history of our club as one of the most successful coaches.

Speaking of the future head coach, we will look for a qualified specialist. As soon as we have decided on a new head coach and a new team, we will organize training camps. We are at the end of August,” TASS quoted Vatutin as saying.

Recall that CSKA failed to win the VTB United League for the first time since 2011.

After Zenit’s defeat in the decisive seventh game of the VTB United League final series (75:81), Dimitris Itoudis resigned. He has been the head coach of CSKA since 2014. Under him, the army team won the Euroleague twice and became champions of the VTB United League six times.
