Athletistic / Basketball Well-known commentator Vladimir Gomelsky, in a lecture on his website, named the main mistake of Dimitris Itoudis as the head coach of CSKA.

“It turns out that we are again talking about the pros and cons of coach Itoudis. He did not appreciate what he had, all the time he pushed the management to get rid of the veterans prematurely, told them imposed increased demands, divided the players into his own and foreigners That was it.

In other words, Itoudis used his super privileged position. This is just one of his mistakes – the lack of self-criticism or self-control. Everything else is a management flaw.

Another important point is the silence of his assistants. But Itoudis gave the result. And winners are not judged,” Gomelsky wrote.

Remember that Itoudis left CSKA at the end of last season. In the final series of the VTB United League, the army team lost to Zenit (3-4), which won the championship for the first time in its history. Javier Pascual’s side managed to win the series, losing 1-3 along the way.

After Itoudis left, CSKA was managed by Macedonian specialist Emil Rajkovic, who coached Avtodor Saratov last season. Previously, for three years the Macedonian led Astana, and also in the 2020-2021 season he was the head coach of the Kazakhstan national team.
