The negotiations were not complicated. It might have taken a little time, but that is quite normal in this type of thing. I'm glad that I continue to work at my home town club. We've already experienced so much together and I will do only the best for Zenit and the fans. 

Yesterday it was announced that a number of players would be departing the club at the end of their contracts. Are there already replacements or are negotiations taking place? 

So far, there are talks that are ongoing and official news will come a little later. For us, the main thing now is to work quickly and have the time to sign those players who we are interested in. 

What are you targets for next season? 

Our main goal is to get to the Euroleague. We will make an efficient squad and be ready to fulfill this goal.
