CSKA player Igor Diveyev expressed his thoughts on the difference between the current head coach Fabio Chelestini and former coach Marko Nikolic. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the main difference between CSKA under Chelestini and CSKA under Nikolic is evident in the high pressing. Diveyev stated that it does not matter to him which style to play; he is ready to step onto the field in any case.
For the player, the most important thing is to adapt to the new system through training and gatherings. For reference, Marko Nikolic managed the CSKA team in the 2024/25 season.
Under his leadership, the team won the Russian Cup and secured third place in the Russian championship. This summer, Fabio Chelestini was appointed as the head coach of CSKA.
After Chelestini took over the team management, in his very first game, CSKA managed to win the Russian Super Cup against "Krasnodar," achieving victory and securing the trophy. Thus, the team achieved its first significant result with the new coach.
