Riancho supported strengthening the legionnaire limit in Russia

Spanish specialist Raul Riancho, who was previously the head coach of the "Spartak" team, expressed his opinion on the restrictions placed on the number of legionnaires in the Russian Premier League and the possibility of their strengthening. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Recently, information has emerged that the Russian Ministry of Sports is proposing to change the current limit. According to their proposal, a "10+5" formula may be introduced, meaning that there can be a maximum of ten legionnaires on the roster, with five of them allowed to be on the field at the same time.

According to Riancho, this is a very interesting proposal, as it indicates that the leaders of the Russian league have confidence in the presence of good coaches in the country. They are capable of nurturing quality Russian football players in academies.

Under the current rules, a club in the Russian championship can have 13 legionnaires on its roster, with eight of them allowed to play on the field at the same time. These changes are expected to have a positive impact on the development of Russian football.

The reduction in the number of legionnaires will create more opportunities for local players and help improve their skills. At the same time, coaches and clubs will need to adapt to the new conditions.

Overall, these changes are believed to serve to enhance the quality of Russian football.
