Former basketball player CSKA Victor Keyru told that leaving Emil Rajkovic from the position of head coach of the “red-blues” – an anti-crisis decision related to the “emergency story before the playoffs” of the VTB United League.
CSKA announced Rajkovic’s resignation on Monday. The head coach of the team until the end of the current season will be Andreas Pistiolis, who worked as an assistant to the former head coach of the military team Dimitris Itoudis.
— Commenting on the dismissal of a coach is a thankless task. You never know 100% whether or not you will succeed as a coach. Resignation? This is all at the discretion of the club. There are different situations. Sometimes they change coaches at the very last moment before the playoffs.
Pistiolios has already worked with the team, knows some players, but the core is still somewhat different. Therefore, he will have to do a lot of work, and it is impossible to say now that he will succeed 100% and help CSKA return to its previous positions.
As for Raikovich’s resignation, this decision is probably related to the emergency situation before the playoffs. The club has just realized that this is exactly the current situation. They already see that the team cannot overcome the crisis. This is an anti-crisis decision,” Keyru told .
CSKA took third place in the regular season; in the quarter-finals, the “red-blues” will play with the “Yenisei” of Krasnoyarsk.
