Andrea MAZZON
Avtodor head coach:
“As a coach I am really happy to welcome a young man like Fedor who I am sure will try to do his best to improve his game and those basketball aspects where he is weak. Klyuchnikov plays with passion and love of the game. Of course VTB league is not gonna be easy at the begging for him but with the hard work and dedication he can really try to go into the next level. I love to teach and improve young players and I am sure Fedor will try to do everything possible to make this happen. Welcome to the jungle!”
