He noted that the situation might become easier in the future when different people and a new team composition are in place. The coach emphasized the profound bond he shares with the city and the club, stating that they have been through too much together and that many individuals there remain very close to him.\n\nVergun shared a particularly poignant memory from his time after leaving Uralmash. He recalled his eldest son telling him that the greatest victory was the way the fans sent him off. This sentiment was powerfully reinforced during a recent playoff series. Before the third game of the series, which was held in Yekaterinburg, Vergun heard the arena's supportive reaction after his name was announced. He described the feeling as incredible, highlighting the lasting connection he has with the Uralmash supporters.\n\nThe coach's tenure with Uralmash was marked by significant achievements. Vergun took charge of the team in December 2023 and departed in January 2026. During his leadership, Uralmash qualified for the VTB United League playoffs on two separate occasions. Furthermore, in the most recent season, the team secured a historic milestone by winning the Russian Cup for the first time in the club's history.\n\nNow, as part of the coaching staff at Zenit, one of the league's top teams, Vergun continues to build on his successful career. His journey from leading Uralmash to its first major trophy to now working with a powerhouse like Zenit demonstrates his growth and reputation within Russian basketball.\n\nThe story of Vergun's return underscores the deep personal ties that often exist in professional sports. The respect and affection between a former coach and his old club's community can create powerful, emotional moments that transcend the competition on the court.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Belarus national team head coach and Zenit assistant Rostislav Vergun shares his feelings about playing against his former club Uralmash in Yekaterinburg, recalling the
