Wolves Vilnius announced early Sunday that head coach Kestutis Kemzura is leaving the club. The move was made by mutual agreement. Kemzura, 53, assumed the Wolves’ helm in March of last year and guided the club to a runner-up finish in the Northern European Basketball League.
"Taking this step was not easy. However, the play of our team in the recent period did not satisfy the coaching staff or the club management and the results did not reflect our capabilities in any way,” Wolves sports director Donatas Zavackas explained.
“We are confident that the team can play much better. Therefore, speaking with Kestutis Kemzura, we came to a common opinion that changes are necessary for the team to move forward. We thank him for his professional work and historic victories for the club both in the national championship and in the EuroCup and we wish him the greatest success in the future."
