Former Spartak player Maksim Demenko shared his thoughts on the head coach of the "red-whites," Dejan Stankovich, leaving the stands during the match against Makhachkala's Dinamo. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This incident occurred after the opponent scored a goal near the end of the game. Nevertheless, Spartak managed to equalize in extra time (1:1), but lost in the penalty shootout.
Following a poor start in the RPL, with only four points earned in four rounds, rumors began circulating about Stankovich possibly being dismissed. In an interview with Gazeta, Demenko said, "Immediately, talks started that Stankovich no longer trusts the team.
These statements are unfounded and based on emotions. He is a very emotional person.
The opponent scored in the final moments, which disturbed his inner state. I do not consider his leaving the stands a sign of distrust," he said.
In the fifth round of the RPL, Spartak will play against Zenit under Stankovich's leadership. The match is scheduled for August 16.
