Jose Vildoza potpisao za Cibonu

Trener Cibone Vladimir Jovanović je izjavio nakon dolaska Vildoze: „Pratili smo Vildozu duže vrijeme i upoznati smo s njegovom kvalitetom. Nije ga bilo lako dovesti u Zagreb i u Cibonu iz razloga što su ga pratili i za njegove kvalitete čuli i bogatiji klubovi. Mi smo to završili na vrijeme, prvi smo ušli u razgovore, predstavili mu naš plan, što od njega očekujemo i što treba donijeti klubu. Našli smo zajednički jezik i zadovoljstvo nam je što smo doveli ovako kvalitetnog igrača, argentinskog reprezentativca. Bit će nam pravo pojačanje i uz ostale igrače će činiti zbilja interesantnu vanjsku liniju. Uskoro će biti službeni dolasci i još nekih igrača. Mi smo već dugo na tom košarkaškom tržištu i nastojimo pojačati ekipu pravim, kvalitetnim igračima s dobrim karakterima koji mogu rasti skupa s ekipom i dati svoj doprinos. Nastavljamo jačanje igračkog kadra i čim to bude službeno navijači će biti pravovremeno obaviješteni.“
