Head coach of the Russian men’s basketball team Zoran Lukic explained in an interview with why he had not accepted the offers from European clubs that he had recently received.
The contract with the Russian Basketball Federation (RFB) does not prohibit Lukic from combining work in the national team and club. Previously, the Serb combined his work as head coach of the national team with his work in Paris Nizhny Novgorod. The specialist left the Nizhny Novgorod club at the end of last season. Sergei Kozin was appointed head coach of the team.
— You said you had offers from Europe. Why weren’t they accepted?
— There were several moments here. First of all, the Friendship Games were planned for this year in September, but they were postponed at the last moment. I have a contract with the RFB. Until the end of September, I could not work in any club. Nevertheless, I have time, I have something to decide before the new year, so we will see then.
— So you don’t rule out that after the New Year you will start working at the club at the same time?
– I hope so. But before the New Year, I repeat, I have something to decide in my life,” Lukich told .
