Samara Head Coach Sergei Bazarevich in an interview with , he confirmed that the club intends to play in the new season of the VTB United League, explained why his agreement with Samara was signed for two seasons, and also explained why Sergey Bykov , who helped in the Russian national team, was not at headquarters.
Bazarevich previously coached Dynamo Moscow, Krasnye Krylia, Lokomotiv-Kuban, Italy’s Kantu and Turkey’s Trabzonspor. From 2016 to 2021, the specialist led the Russian men’s team.
– your agreement with “Samara” signed for two seasons. Why exactly this period?
– There is some excitement here, because Samara returned to the first division – in the VTB League (previously Samara Krasnye Krylia played in the United League – editor’s note). It’s hard to build something like that in a year. I hope it will work in two,” Bazarevich told .
– What challenges do you face as a leader?
– The task is to recruit a battle-ready team. It is first.
– And if you go through the positions, who do you need?
All positions need players. We have already signed some young basketball players. We hope they will grow with the team and help it grow, as well as sustain the enthusiasm that exists in the city. And we will help the players.
– Sergey Bykov, who helped in the Russian national team, will he appear in your coaching staff?
– Bykov is a high-profile personality. He does other things. If he suddenly decides to go the coaching way, that will be a different story. While Sergey works in a petrochemical company. There, in my opinion, he is engaged in large, important projects. We communicate, but somehow taking him as an assistant in this situation is probably illogical.
– What are Samara’s plans in terms of organization and pre-season training?
– You ask these questions early on: first you need to be officially approved in the United League, then you need to understand the schedule. When this is clear, we will establish a preparation plan.
