Raul Riancho, who previously worked as a coach for Moscow's “Spartak” team, responded to a recent interview given by Dejan Stankovich. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The current head coach of the “red-white” team said that there was a negative attitude towards him in Russia because he came from another country. However, Riancho emphasized that in Russia, he was always treated the same as the locals.
In his opinion, such a situation happens to any coach regardless of citizenship. “I have felt equal to Russian citizens alongside you,” Riancho stated.
These words were cited by the “Sovetskiy sport” publication. Many experts from the country's football community, including Yuri Pervak, Aleksandr Shikunov, Igor Semshov, and others, also shared their views on this matter.
According to them, the attitude towards coaches depends more on their work performance and results. Additionally, cooperation within the team and mutual respect were highlighted as important factors.
This topic remains one of the significant issues in the field of football.
