Zenit BC and Manos Papadopoulos extended their cooperation for 2 years

The experienced Greek specialist will continue to work as the club’s Sports Director.

Manos joined Zenit in the summer of 2020. Prior to that, the functionary worked for more than 30 years in the Greek Panathinaikos, where he worked his way up from the manager of youth teams to the President and Managing Director of PAO.

Manos is a 19-time Greek champion, a 15-time Greek Cup winner, a 6-time Euroleague champion, an International Cup winner, and last season, together with Zenit, he became both the VTB United League Champion and the Champion of Russia.

We wish you professional success together with the team in the new season.

I want to thanks Board for the trust they saw in me. I’m sure that the next season with support of the club and high-quality coach we will create once again a very good and strong team.

Alexander Tserkovny, Zenit BC CEO:

The contribution that Manos makes to the formation and building of the team cannot be overestimated, and the result is visible to everyone. His human qualities are such that I can frankly say that I will be just happy to continue working with him.
