The 6-time CEV Volleyball Champions League winners Zenit-Kazan extended contracts with two national team members, Maksim Mikhaylov and Artem Volvich.
The Russian volleyball giants put an end to speculations regarding Mikhaylov’s departure from the club and bound him also for 2021/22.

He won the CEV Champions League 3 times, FIVB Club World Championship 1 time, Russian Championship 2 times, Russian Cup 4 times, and Russian Super Cup 4 times.
