Coach out! The chaos continues in Kapfenberg

Former serial basketball champions Kapfenberg are going through turbulent times. Under coach Radomir Mijanovic, the Bulls, who were once spoiled by victories, wanted to get back on track and finally showed their confidence in the coach. Now, however, the Slovenian is history at the club.

Last Wednesday, the "Krone" had a conversation with coach Radomir Mijanovic. He spoke of "stressful times", but not of having to leave the club soon. Either the coach did not yet know about his "good fortune" - or he could have gone to drama school as a second career path.

Just under 30 hours later, Radomir Mijanovic's adventure with the Bulls was over. After just eleven games, in which Mijanovic only managed four wins. The coach's dismissal will soon be made public. It is the second "bad move" in a row for the former serial champions. Most recently, Kapfenberg tried to regain its former strength under Spanish coach Antonio Herrera - but that also backfired with expensive side effects (Herrera had to be paid off). 

Ukrainian takes over on an interim basis
The league home game against Wels is on Saturday in Kapfenberg-Walfersam, the Bulls need points. The Cup quarter-finals are coming up in January. That will all be a task for Mijanovic co-coach Klym Artamonov. The 31-year-old Ukrainian and ex-professional left his home country when the war began and ended up in Kapfenberg via Spain and France. Now he is taking over the Bulls, provided everything goes according to plan with his coaching license.
