Athletic coach Georgy Artemyev will continue his career in another club. 49-year old specialist has spent five seasons in CSKA structure, becoming the co-author of Euroleague title, 5 Russian championship titles, 2 Russian Cups and VTB League trophies.

Andrey Vatutin, CSKA President:
I would like to thank sincerely my trusted friend, great specialist Georgy Artemyev for his work in our club. Georgy has repeatedly demonstrated integrity, courage, dedication; he has done a good job this year, joining the preparation of the team in December. We deeply respect his professional ambitions and family priorities, we understand his wishes not to pursue a career in CSKA structure, as we suggested, but in another club. Of course, I'm sorry to say farewell, but I am not worried about Georgy. His highest pro level and in-depth knowledge will be needed, I know that he has no shortage of job offers. I have no doubt that Georgy will reach success in his new position and I wish him all the best.

Georgy Artemiev:
Years in CSKA were the happiest and most successful in my career, especially the period of collaboration with Ettore Messina. I have a big number of friends inside the club, the team; I will stay in touch with them, I will feel for them, enjoy their successes. I wish the club welfare and prosperity.
