Zenit announced yesterday that the great Spanish coach Javier Pasqual has terminated his five-year contract, and Dejan Radonjić is already being mentioned in the local media as a candidate to take over the position of the successful expert.
The Montenegrin coach ended his collaboration with the Turkish Bahçehir after a year and a half, leading them to the semi-finals of the Eurocup and the Turkish championship, before handing over the reins to Marko Barac, the previous coach of Mega.
Pasqual will be remembered as the best coach in Zenit's history, with the first title in the VTB League, and in his five-year tenure, the 52-year-old Spaniard is the club's record holder with 308 games and 215 wins.
He also won the Russian Championship, the Russian Cup, the United League Super Cup twice, and the Kondrashin and Belov Cup four times.
In his first season, Pasqual led Zenit to the quarterfinals of the Euroleague.
Radonjić also has a lot of experience, as the 55-year-old expert managed Buducnost, Red Star, Bayern, Panathinaikos and Bahçehir.
