The head coach of CSKA Moscow, Dimitris Itoudis, visited Zagreb and was honoured by his former University.

The Greek coach spoke at a conference organized by the leading Croatian sports newspaper, Sportske Novosti, on how to succeed in sports. He was then named an honorary professor at the University of Zagreb.

“They told me – and it was a surprise – that they are going to name me an honorary professor and coach of the university in November. Unfortunately, I will not be able to visit the ceremony.

As a gesture of gratitude, I announced that I will award their best basketball student. This guy is recovering after surgery now, but later I will pay for his 4-day visit to Moscow where he will be able to attend our team’s practices,” coach Itoudis said.
