Vatutin on rumors about Zeljko Obradovic: Tomorrow they will write that Phil Jackson will join us

CSKA Moscow president Andre Vatutin spoke with Metaratings.ru talking about the rumors on Zeljko Obradovic as new head coach of the Russian powerhouse.

“With the offseason approaching, every day, every week an info will be reported” Vatutin said. “There will be news about players, coaches, doctor who will end up in Moscow” Vatutin added.

“We don’t need to comment everything. Today they will write one thing, tomorrow another one. We have an active coach and coaching staff in which we trust” Vatutin added. “We are solving certain problems”.

“It’s ridiculous to even comment on all these rumors. Now they will write that Phil Jackson will come. Tomorrow they will write about someone else. This is wild game. And neither I nor the CSKA press office can talk about it on a daily basis”.

Bayern Munich seeking contract extension with coach Andrea Trinchieri

FC Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer, in an interview shared on Bayern’s official site, signaled the team’s intention to extend coach Andrea Trinchieri’s contract beyond the 2020-21 season. Bayern has reached, under Trinchieri, the first ever qualification for the Euroleague playoffs.

“We both agreed in the summer to focus first on this season. We are on a great path. We especially like his detailed and passionate work, and through our conversations, I get the impression that he also likes it very much here in Munich. I don’t think we are the only side wanting to meet soon and talk about working together beyond this season”, Hainer said on Trinchieri, who signed an annual contract last summer.
