Changes in CSKA coaching staff

CSKA assistant coach Quin Snyder leaves the club to work overseas. Athletic coach Evaldas Kandratavicius and scout Benas Matkevicius signed new “1+1” contracts with club's option for second year.

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

We prolonged Benas contract and he will have even more duties now. He is already working not just as a a scout but as assistant coach also. I am glad that he will continue to work with us.

I think Evaldas will be even more important for us next season. This year we tried to know each other better, our principles of work. I am happy that he's staying.

It is sad to say goodbye to Quin. We are losing a friend, great coach, great person who was able to establish close relationship with many of people here in CSKA. I am happy that he will continue his career on the highest level. It will be not easy to substitute him. Still we will try to make the best possible choice.
