Athletistic / Basketball. Andrei Kirilenko commented on the combination of coaching positions of Zoran Lukic. The head coach of the Russian national team previously combined his main work with mentoring the Nizhny Novgorod team.

“I don’t see any pros or cons here. Either is possible. When you combine work, you have your hands full, you work all year round, but there are also cons – your head is also occupied by your club. Zoran has developed a lot of skills over the past 20 years, so I think he can take a year as a vacation. In fact, it helps him a lot now, since he is focused only on the national team and he has the opportunity to meet up with the guys from the reserve team and watch those who played today,” Kirilenko was quoted as saying by “Championship”.

The Russian Basketball Federation has extended the agreement with Lukic until 2028.
