Management CSKA I endured for a long time and gave it to the coach Emil Rajkovic There are enough chances to correct the situation, the Honored Russia coach told . Stanislav Eremin .
CSKA announced Rajkovic’s resignation from the post of head coach of the team on Monday. The club will be led by Greek specialist Andreas Pistiolis, who previously worked as an assistant to former CSKA coach Dimitris Itoudis until the end of the season.
CSKA took third place in the VTB United League regular season. In the quarter-finals of the playoffs, the “red-blues” will meet “Yenisey”.
— Raikovich is a fairly high level coach. He has proven himself with his previous teams. But CSKA is CSKA: if you are not the first, then there is no guarantee that you will remain the head coach. Management is probably not entirely satisfied with the current results. And, to their credit, they held on long enough and gave them a chance to improve. But the picture did not change: last year CSKA was the best in the regular season and showed a good game, but when it came to the playoffs, everything changed. And this year the situation is similar: they were in the lead for a long time with a big difference, and then the results got worse.
Usually, a change of coach causes some upheaval in the team. It is clear that a new coach cannot change tactical schemes and playing patterns in such a short time. But he can make targeted adjustments to the game, set the emphasis correctly and motivate the team. That’s probably what management is hoping for. It’s hard for me to say how successful it will be. I don’t really know Pistiolis as a coach, as he worked more as an assistant to Itoudis.
This year, during CSKA’s matches, it was striking that as soon as it was necessary to take a blow, the team did not show character. I think. That some sort of core was missing. What caused this? The analysis should be carried out by the club management,” Eremin told .
