Boris Ignatyev, the former head coach of "Shandong Luneng," commented on the activities of Russian specialist Leonid Slutskiy at "Shanghai Shenhua." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Ignatyev, Slutskiy does not want to return to the Russian championship because he has good work and conditions in China, where he feels comfortable. He stated that it is unclear how long Slutskiy will work in China.
At the same time, it has been reported that Slutskiy was appointed head coach of "Shanghai Shenhua" in January 2024. He has won the Chinese Super Cup twice with the team.
Last season, under his leadership, the team secured second place in the championship standings. These results indicate that the Russian specialist has found his place in Chinese football.
Thus, it has been confirmed that Slutskiy is currently successfully operating in Chinese football and has no intention of returning to Russia. His activities and contributions to the team are highly valued.
As football develops in China, the work of such specialists is considered important for the country's sports.
