The coach of Hapoel Tel Aviv, Dimitris Itoudis, spoke sharply at a press conference after the European Basketball Cup match against the Lithuanian club Wolves, answering a journalist’s question about the fact that he worked in Russia after the start of the SVO.
The meeting took place in Vilnius on Wednesday and ended with a score of 104:100 in favor of the hosts. After the game, the journalist asked the Greek specialist a question about Russia’s work in the context of the Northern Military District.
– Are you serious? Ask someone else about it. I’m not a politician, but a basketball coach. Are you telling me this? Sport unites. I have many players with passports from different countries. Sport unites! You have to pass it on [читателям]Itoudis said.
The video was published on social networks.
Itoudis took charge of CSKA in 2014 and left the team in June 2022.
