It was a pretty successful start to the season for the team. The Russian club has started the Eurocup year with 6 wins in 7 matches, but the loss against the last team in the group seemed to have been the turning point in Pashutin's Lokomotiv career.

Until a new head coach is found, Branko Maksimovic has been appointed as the acting head coach. Lokomotiv will look to rebound in Nizhny Novgorod where they will play a VTB United League match on Saturday.

Lokomotiv Kuban currently sit 3rd in the Group A of the 7DAYS Eurocup with 5 wins and 2 losses. The team is, however, 5th in the VTB United League with 5 wins out of 8 games, with all three losses coming against the Euroleague teams - UNICS Kazan, Zenit St Petersburg, and CSKA Moscow.
