Viktor Onopko, a member of the coaching staff of the "Rostov" team, explained the reasons for the team's unsuccessful start in the 2025/2026 season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
After four matches, Rostov has achieved only one victory and is positioned in the relegation zone of the competition table. According to Onopko, not having a wide selection of players like "Zenit" and the departure of key players from the team have negatively affected the results.
He did not associate the team's poor results with the departure of former head coach Valery Karpin. Currently, Rostov is in 13th place with three points.
On August 17, the team will play away against Kazan's "Rubin" in the fifth round. This match is of great importance as one of the team's next opportunities in the season.
