Pistiolis is currently an assistant coach of CSKA Moscow and has been a long-time collaborator of coach Dimitris Itoudis.

According to SDNA, CSKA Moscow are not expected to create obstacles in the deal between Pistiolis and Galatasaray, which could be finalized soon.

The Greek coach is expected to travel to Istanbul by the end of the week.
