Football expert Valery Masalitin expressed his opinion on the likelihood of coaching changes in strong clubs of the Russian Premier League in an interview with the online publication "Euro-Football." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
After the fourth round, discussions about the resignation of coaches have emerged in clubs with poor results, particularly in "Zenit" and "Spartak." However, it is still too early to come to such conclusions.
If the situation does not change in the next two or three rounds, especially the mutual match between these clubs could be decisive. Depending on the result, coaching changes are not out of the question.
According to Masalitin, Stankovich is currently seen as the closest candidate for resignation. His team is not achieving results, and the quality of play is also insufficient.
Semak knows the team well, and his relationship with the management is strong, which gives him confidence. However, if the management is patient, there may be no changes at all.
Although Semak knows the team well, he is unable to bring the playing style up to modern standards. The team is moving at a slow pace, which does not align with modern football.
The high speeds demonstrated by European clubs and in the World Cup are considered a fundamental requirement of modern football. If there are no results, the coach is primarily responsible for this.
Ivich is being mentioned as the main candidate to replace Stankovich. His playing style is more defensive, while "Spartak" always prefers attacking football.
Stankovich is often criticized for being overly emotional during the game. On the other hand, in a club like "Spartak," the coach must be able to maintain composure and align with the club's dignity.
The team's movement, the mutual trust between the coach and the management directly affects the results. The "Dinamo" team also did not start the season well.
The club management is characterized by impatience. Coaches have been frequently replaced in the past.
Karpin is rebuilding the team, and there are injured players as well. Everything depends on the management's patience.
Rebuilding a team takes two to three years. It is necessary to train the players and create competition for each position.
If investments have been made and players have been purchased, immediate results are expected. However, patience and mutual understanding are crucial for results.
If the team strays from its path, the coach will change. Therefore, it is essential for every club to choose the right path to achieve results and to be patient.
