CSKA forward Samson Ruzhentsev recounted how the team’s players reacted to the change of head coach last season.
Emil Rajkovic, who led the Moscow club at the beginning of the season, was fired after the end of the regular season. The club was led by Andreas Pistiolis. CSKA won gold medals in the VTB United League, beating UNICS in the final series.
— The players reacted quite positively, because we had a difficult period, there were many defeats. We lost twice to Yenisei in the second stage and ended up with them in the first round of the playoffs. The decision to change the coach a week before the start of the playoffs was certainly surprising, but it was strong and courageous.
“Hardly anyone does it, but to some extent the players were happy that an attempt was made to change the situation. And, in fact, it worked,” Ruzhentsev said, as quoted by Championship.
In the upcoming VTB United League season, Ruzhentsev will play on loan for Parma.
