Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

I'm happy to welcome Amath back to our team. His quality as both a player and a person is well known to me, and I'm especially happy to have the chance to work with him once more. He already knows how the team functions and is familiar with his teammates, which makes him an ideal addition. His competitiveness and drive guarantee that he will elevate our game and help us reach our goals.
