CSKA coaches are leaving: the problem is not in football, but in the system

Strange and predictable situations are occurring in the CSKA team. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.

Another coach leaves the job, quietly slipping out without slamming the door, which has become a requirement of the day. Now, leaving with a bang is not the norm.

In this process, coaches are departing with many uncertainties, unclear feelings, as well as conditions for leaving that are "in line with European standards." In June of this year, Marko Nikolić took this path and left the club, heading towards Athens.

He had dreams and a family, but it happened that way. Nikolić is not the first, nor will he be the last. Fedotov had left before him.

He also left the team without any fuss, it seemed as if nothing had happened. His entire staff left with similar unclear feelings.

These departures are not scandalous or emotional, but rather quiet and delicate. All of this leads us to one question: what is happening within the team? According to media reports, there was a disagreement between Nikolić and the club's deputy director Yevgeniy Shevelyov regarding transfer matters.

Marko was unhappy with the acquisition of striker Alerrandro, who had not been able to deliver results. CSKA is a club that is not embarrassing to play for, but dangerous to coach. CSKA still remains a major project, but only for the players.

They continue to receive their salaries, and fan interest has not diminished. However, those responsible for the club's future are suddenly leaving.

It’s as if there is a large magnet at the base that pushes ambitions aside. Silence prevails within the team. Neither the president nor the director is making clear statements.

The press service only covers events after they have happened. Recently, Swiss Fabio Celestini was appointed as the head coach.

He could face criminal liability under the laws of his homeland for having worked with a Russian team. The Blick publication specifically highlighted this.

Swiss and Spanish laws prohibit earning income from sanctioned companies. Since CSKA is on such a list, the coach could face up to five years in prison. CSKA's main problem is not a crisis of results, nor is it extremely poor transfers.

The main issue is a crisis of the project itself. This club is not a coach's dream, but a challenge.

CSKA's budget in the RPL ranks sixth. A club with such history and ambitions cannot be just an ordinary team.

The reason lies in management issues, toxic assets, and even the lack of a clear strategy expressed in simple words. Another coach has been found, and the team will continue to play, even win. But the main problem is different.

Until the CSKA management undergoes self-assessment, this situation will keep repeating. Because a modern club cannot be based on the views of the early 2000s.

CSKA is not sinking, but people are leaving it. This symptom is no longer a noisy signal, but is turning into a fiery signal. This situation also provides unique lessons in the sports fields of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Just as local values like Tuxum barak, Gijduvon shashligi, Samarkand bread, and Uzbek national dishes are being preserved, sports clubs must also maintain their sustainability. A systematic and strategic approach is necessary to address such issues.
