Zenith Forward Andrei Vorontsevich told that he would be happy to answer the call of the head coach of the Russian national team Zoran Lukic if he invites him to the national team.
Earlier, Sergei Elevich, a member of the RFB coaching council, told that Lukich had been approved as the head coach of the Russian national team for the next Olympic cycle until 2028.
— It is great that Lukich continues to work with the national team. It is very correct. God bless the coach and players. In general, I would like to see our team at international competitions. Zoran is my good friend, one of my favorite coaches. We understand that in the current conditions it is not easy, but I wish the guys professional growth and success to the coach.
Of course, all coaches on the RFB coaching council do not need any help in making decisions: they understand perfectly well that this specialist will help our team and our Russian players. As he has done for many years and continues to do today. I fully agree with this decision. The main thing is to play as many matches as possible, this is a very important experience for the guys. Unfortunately, they cannot participate in international tournaments yet. But, thank God, there will be more meetings. I think the federation will organize friendly matches. We must play with the teams that we can meet. The more we play, the stronger we become.
— If Lukich calls you to the national team, are you ready to accept the invitation?
– With pleasure. But as I understand it, the team currently consists of young basketball players, mostly aged 25 or less. It has always been a great honour for me to play for the national team. If Zoran calls me to join the national team, of course I will go there, ”Vorontsevich told .
The 52-year-old Serbian specialist has been leading the Russian national team since 2021. Previously, he combined his position with that of Paris NN, which he left in May this year.
The Russian national team has been suspended from participating in international tournaments due to the political situation.
