Osinkin stated the reason for Kovalenko's failure

Igor Osinkin, the former head coach of "Krylya Sovetov," explained the reasons why Aleksandr Kovalenko has not been able to show himself at "Zenit." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In his opinion, Kovalenko arrived at "Zenit" a bit too early, as a player who is not always ready and developed cannot play in a big team. As Osinkin emphasized in the "Oh, Football!" program, Kovalenko is a talented player who needs the coach's trust and more time on the field.

Aleksandr Kovalenko moved to "Zenit" in the summer of 2023. In the 2023-2024 season, he has played 14 times and provided one assist.

Last season, he played for the "Orenburg" team. Recently, it has been revealed that the 21-year-old player will continue his career at the "Sochi" club.

This change presents a new opportunity for Kovalenko's development and to showcase himself. The trust of coaches and consistent playing time on the field are very important for young players.

Therefore, Kovalenko is expected to demonstrate his true potential at "Sochi."
