pita open to coaching return

The Bosnian-Swedish coach aims to return after 10 months on the sidelines.

Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita has announced his intention to return to coaching via a Twitlonger. The 32-year-old put his coaching career on hold due to the birth of his daughter but says that he is now "more than ready to coach a team again."

"When my previous team Dignitas withdrew from CS last summer, I decided to take the opportunity to be with my little family," said pita in his statement. "During this period there has been offers, some good that I wanted, but that didn’t go through all the way — and some that just didn’t feel right at the time considering the circumstances.

"The only thing I wish is to compete with a group that has the ambition to go all the way and players that want to put in that little extra," pita added on his wishes for his next project, while also stating that he is open to offers from all regions.

pita led NIP to an ESL One Cologne 2014 title

pita is most known for his coaching stint in Ninjas in Pyjamas. He famously helped the Swedish squad win the ESL One Cologne 2014 Major title before departing the European scene to join CLG in North America, where he spent seven months.

A longer inactivity followed for pita before he returned to Ninjas in Pyjamas at the start of 2018 and spent two years there, attending three Majors with the organization. His last two coaching roles were at Copenhagen Flames and Dignitas, with the latter ending in June of last year.

While pita is one of the coaches caught up in the infamous coach-bug scandal, he has since fully served his ban and can now compete without restrictions.

The former Ninjas in Pyjamas coach has requested that interested parties reach out via Twitter or his email at [email protected].

dude, just the fact that you can try to do this, give 'most of it' back and still be employable in this scene says how much shit this counter strike scene really is, just rotten to the core in any good company, this would blacklist you for life. dunno if this is normal in india and whatever stan/sand country that arab is from, but in our lands this is not acceptable

There is no “proof” because the matter was not serious enough to be investigated by the police, but what is totally clear is that there was shady stuff going on. He’s a twat.
