Predrag Zimonjiс is a new BC Khimki athletic trainer25 july 2011

In the 2011-12 season, in the BC Khimki coaching staff occurs only one change. A well-known specialist Predrag Zimonjic, who worked in recent years with the national team of Serbia, has been appointed as physical preparation coach (athletic trainer) of our club.

Victor Bychkov, BC Khimki General Manager:

— Predrag is an experienced specialist, who worked with well-known European coaches, such as Obradovic, Ivkovic and strong teams like KK Crvena zvezda, KK Hemofarm and, of course, with the national team of Serbia. We are confident that with Zimonjiс physical condition of our team will be at a high level. As for Vladimir Chernikov, he will stay in our club and deal with youth teams.

Predrag Zimonjiс:

— For the last few years because of commitments to Serbia and writing a dissertation, I was to abandon proposals of working in club structures on a permanent basis. Now I feel the most enthusiastic sense of awareness of the fact that my life will be connected with only one club, especially with such ambitious as BC Khimki. In recent years Moscow Region team asserted itself as a squad, which poses the most serious problems and seeks to become one of the strongest clubs in Europe. I hope my experience and knowledge will benefit the Khimkians and together we will achieve these goals.
