Ruslan Pimenov, the deputy director of the "Krylya Sovetov" team in Samarkand, commented on Valery Karpin's simultaneous roles as the head coach of the Russian national team and the Moscow "Dynamo" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that he views this situation calmly and mentioned that such circumstances have occurred before. According to Pimenov, everyone has their own opinion, and some, like Cherchesov, may oppose it.
Nevertheless, he supports Karpin's work with the national team and rates his performance highly. Valery Karpin has been the head coach of the Russian national team since the summer of 2021.
Additionally, he has been active as the head coach of the Moscow "Dynamo" team since June 2025. Last season, "Dynamo" secured fifth place in the Russian Premier League.
This indicates the team's competitiveness and confirms Karpin's coaching skills. Overall, while Karpin's dual role has been assessed differently within the sports community, his work is receiving positive feedback.
