Our team’s athletic coach Georgy Artemiev signed the new 3-year contract with CSKA.

Georgy Artemiev:

“I have the great desire to help Zhenya Pashutin to succeed. I hardly imagine myself outside CSKA: the wins are like the narcotics for me, when you try them you just cannot stop. Besides, one of my goals is to see as much CSKA players in Russian National Team uniform as it possible. I feel myself responsible for our guys and this was one of the reasons for me to work with the National Team also.”

Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA Moscow head coach:

“Gosha is one of the best athletic coaches in Russia, he had the great experience working under Ettore Messina and built his own program. I have no doubts in his professional and personal qualities. Physical shape is becoming the main factor in modern basketball, the players run quicker and the game is becoming more and more dynamic. This is why it is so important to prepare the players well and to have quality rehabilitation program.”
