Sergey Kushchenko, C.E.O. of PBC CSKA:
- Since Euroleague Final Four there's lot of information and most of it in foreign mass media that CSKA negotiates possible candidates for the position of head coach and some players. They mention the names of Pini Gershon, Svetislav Pesic, Maceo Baston and others. I can say that none of the names is in the sphere of our interests. CSKA has always been an active participant of the transfer market and together with Dusan Ivkovic who has one more year contract with the club think about strengthening the roster for the next season. But at the moment all our thoughts are about Russian playoffs and all these "news" might be considered as provocation. I see just one reason. Now the name of CSKA is well-known both in Europe and the USA and any information that CSKA has an interest in a player or a coach can be the factor increasing interest to a possible candidate. Therefore I ask fans and mass media to rely only upon the information presented at our club website.
