Lietuvos Rytas agreed to terms with Dzikic and Samardziski

Lietuvos Rytas managed to wrap up deals with Serbian coach Aleksandar Dzikic and Macedonian big man Predrag Samardziski.

With Aleksandar Dzikic coming to take over the reins in Vilnius, it is still whether Darius Maskoliunas, who was given the control of the team after Aleksandar Trifunovic got the sack, will move back to the assistant’s chair or will leave the club entirely.

Lietuvos Rytas’ new strategist, Dzikic, has been enjoying success at Krka Novo Mesto, with which he won the Slovenian top flight last season and also triumphed in the EuroChallenge competition this year.
The 25-year-old Macedonian center Predrag Samardziski will join Lietuvos Rytas after a great season at Olin Edirne, averaging 12.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in the Turkish Basketball League (TBL).
