News: CSKA parts ways with Vujošević

Confirming recent rumours, CSKA Moscow decided to sack head coach Duško Vujošević. The former Montenegro national team coach was relieved of his position following poor performances, especially in the Euroleague. The Russian champions won just one game in six played so far and the loss (71-65) to Armani Jeans Milano on Wednesday was the last straw for the club's board. Vujošević himself aknowledged the failure, citing adaptation problems and a plague of injuries among players.
Assistant Dmitry Shakulin will lead the team until a new head coach is found.
A successful coach both in Serbia and Europe, the 51-year-old Vujošević won nine consecutive Serbian league titles, four Adriatic League championships, five Serbian Cups and a Korać Cup with Partizan.

News: Vujošević resigns as Montenegro head coach

Duško Vujošević presented his resignation from the Montenegro national team coaching position. In a letter to the Montenegrin basketball association, the CSKA Moscow head coach cited the need to rest after an exhausting season and said good-bye to the national side players "as a friend". The 51-year-old is confident that a good replacement will be found.
Vujošević had been at the helm of Montenegro since 2007, following the country's separation from Serbia. He led them to their first Eurobasket qualification success, as the country will take part in the tournament next year in Lithuania. Vujošević's achievements include nine Serbian league titles, four Adriatic Leagues, five Serbian cups and a Korać Cup all with Partizan. He was also named Euroleague coach of the year in 2009.
