Tarkhanov: Stankovich's actions are affecting the players

Former “Spartak” team head coach Alexander Tarkhanov expressed his views on the numerous dismissals of “Spartak” players at the beginning of the 2025/26 season in an interview with the online publication “Evro-Futbol.Ru”. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Tarkhanov emphasized that the behavior of the team head coach Stankovich has a strong impact on the players. He stated that Stankovich often gets nervous and openly displays his emotions.

According to Tarkhanov, if the coach starts to remain calmer, the players will also be able to maintain their composure and balance on the field. Currently, “Spartak” is in 11th place in the league table after the first three rounds of the Russian Premier League.

The Moscow club has 4 points. In the next match, “Spartak” will face “Lokomotiv” away.

According to Tarkhanov, maintaining discipline and balance within the team is of great importance. To achieve successful results, both the coach and the players need to remain calm and composed.

This could positively influence “Spartak”’s results in the future.
