The former president of the Lokomotiv team, Nikolay Naumov, announced in an interview with the Euro-Futbol.ru network publication that head coach Mikhail Galaktionov may soon be dismissed. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, Galaktionov is failing to prepare the team for the season. The coach may be a good motivator and have tactical skills, but the main task is to prepare the team for a long-lasting competition.
During the winter season, he was unable to accomplish this task. According to Naumov, this is Galaktionov's last chance.
If he finishes the first part of the season unsuccessfully, the team will be forced to part ways with him. In the first round of the Russian championship, Lokomotiv defeated the Sochi team 3:0.
Now, in the second round, the team led by Galaktionov will play on the field of Krasnodar. The match will start on July 26 at 19:00.
The result of this match is crucial for the head coach's future. With great responsibility before the team and fans, a high result is expected from the head coach.
