Moscow Head Coach CSKA Emile Raikovitch in an interview with he said that during the off-season the club failed to find a full-fledged replacement for the basketball players who left the team.
Rajkovic was appointed CSKA head coach last June. In the 2022/23 season, the military team under his leadership scored 30 wins in 32 matches and took first place in the VTB United League regular season. Following the playoffs, they became bronze medalists of the tournament.
The main artists left CSKA this summer: Nikola Milutinov, Alexei Shved, Dejan Davidovac, Devontei Kaykok and Dallas Moore.
This summer has been tough for us. We lost key players and failed to replace them with players with the same qualities, especially in attack. This is our current budget. Finding reinforcements in Russia is quite difficult, so we invited those who wanted to come to us. I have already said that the favorites of the season are not us, but other clubs. First of all, Zenit and UNICS, which have a group of well-known masters. Our solution in such a situation is to build a fighting team willing to sacrifice for the outcome.
– What is the main problem for you this summer?
“First, to find foreigners who are able, not potentially, but actually, to help us in the attack. Second, to create internal chemistry and creativity among people who have no practical teamwork. We are taking it step by step,” Raikovich told .
