That’s great CSKA extended agreements with Semyon Antonov , Ivan Ukhov And Anton Astapkovich there are not so many basketball players of such a high level in the Russian market, Alexey Savrasenko, the former center of the army team, pointed out in a conversation with .
Earlier on Friday, CSKA announced the extension of contracts with basketball players Semyon Antonov, Ivan Ukhov and Anton Astapkovich. Antonov and Ukhov will continue to play for the army until at least 2025, Astapkovich – until 2026. CSKA President Andrey Vatutin stressed that he was grateful to the players for the fact that they “did half way with the club in financial matters during a difficult time”.
– Of course, the extension of contracts with Antonov, Ukhov, Astapkovich is a good time, because there are not many players of this level on the Russian market. And, of course, CSKA is always thinking about how to keep the best Russian basketball players in their club.
In general, I think that the “red-blue” will selectively select, and next year the result will be completely different. That is, for example, if Milutinov has now left CSKA, then a player of the same level will be taken in his place, Savrasenko told .
Savrasenko also suggested that if CSKA head coach next season Emil Rajkovic is successful with the team, the club will extend his contract.
Rajkovic’s current deal with CSKA runs until the end of the 2023/24 season. At the end of the last United League season, the army team took third place.
– Typically, when a club signs a deal with a new head coach, he is hired for three years, during which time he is allowed to form the backbone of the team. Again, I think CSKA will make a selective selection, and the team will be ready. Contract with Rajkovic until the end of next season? If in 2024 the team under his leadership shows a good result, then I think the contract with him will definitely be extended,” Savrasenko added.
