On Thursday, CSKA announced the contract extension with the team’s head coach Pistiolis. The agreement will be valid until the end of the 2025/26 season.
— The club management knows better. It is clear that CSKA is happy with the team so far. Recall that the team did not finish the regular season with much confidence, but is now achieving good results in the playoffs and has taken a step forward compared to last year: it is playing in the final, beating Zenit in six matches.

The Greek coach took charge of CSKA in mid-April, at the end of the VTB United League regular season, replacing Emil Raikovich. Under the leadership of Pistiolis, the army team won the playoffs against Krasnoyarsk Enisey (3-0) and St. Petersburg Zenit (4-2) and reached the final of the VTB League United.
