PBC CSKA general manager Sergey Kushchenko and Avtodor president Vladimir Rodionov have come to an agreement regarding the transfer of forward Andrey Sheyko to the Saratov Club Avtodor for the remainder of the season.
"I have mixed feelings," said Sheyko. "On the one hand, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to find a spot in the CSKA rotation and that I won't be a part of this team any longer. And not just the team, but rather the entire project called CSKA, as the changes that the club has undergone from last year to this year are not just related to basketball, but also the organization of games and the front office. For me personally this was very interesting. But on the other hand, even the most intense practices with the very best coach in Europe - and perhaps in the world – can't take the place of real game experience, which I expect to get with Avtodor. I'm grateful to Dusan Ivkovic for the experience I got at CSKA. I think it will take a little while to fully comprehend everything he's taught me as a player. The truly professional atmosphere which has been created here at the club is not only thanks to the club's general director Sergey Kushchenko, but also to the head coach."
