Former fnatic and SK Gaming member Faruk "pita" Pita has agreed to coach CLG for Northern Arena and the ESL ESEA Pro League finals, HLTV.org has learned.

The 24-year-old caught everyone by surprise on Thursday as he revealed on Twitter that he was on a plane to North America, using the hashtag #comebackisreal.

Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita, who has been away from the scene since April, when he stepped down from his role as strategy adviser at Ninjas in Pyjamas, has been hired to coach CLG's team for their final two events of the year after being granted a leave of absence from the bank where he works.

A long-term agreement between the Bosnian player and CLG beyond this point is, for the moment, uncertain, HLTV.org understands.

CLG topped their Northern Arena group following convincing wins over 3sUP, ACE Gaming and Nexus. The team have been drawn in Group B for the ESL ESEA Pro League finals, alongside Question Mark, Luminosity and Natus Vincere.
