Rimas Kurtinaitis, Khimki Moscow Region head coach:

“Egor Vyaltsev along with Sergey Monya is the heart of the team, as so much they both gave to the club. Egor played for me in Perm, and I appreciate his character, ambition, desire to be the best and willingness to always work in full strength. He may not have played much last season, but Egor knows that I trust him. He is a very important part of the team and I am glad that he will stay with Khimki”.

Egor Vyaltsev, Khimki Moscow Region guard:

“I am grateful to the management and the coach for believing in me, for the opportunity to prove myself in such a strong team. Khimki is not just a team with ambitions and high goals and expectations for me, it is my family, and I am happy to continue my career here. I hope I won't let the coach down. We are going to have a great team this year, we are capable of doing many things”.
