Former footballer Sergey Bendz played as a defender for several local teams. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He recently shared his thoughts on the career of Valeriy Karipin, who had worked as a coach for the 'Rostov' team. According to Bendz, Karipin was a key leader for both players and fans.
He stated that when such a leader leaves the team, players need time to adapt to the new circumstances. The new coach will try to implement his own style.
According to reports, Valeriy Karipin managed the 'Rostov' team from 2017 to 2021 and from 2022 to 2025. During this period, he also worked for several years with the Russian national team.
After Karipin left the team, Spanish specialist Jonatan Alba was appointed in his place. In the current season, the 'Rostov' team is in fourteenth place in the Russian Premier League standings.
The team has played three matches so far, losing all of them. These results indicate that the club is going through a difficult period.
Currently, the coach and players are trying to adapt to the new phase.
