Guillermo Abascal was fired after losing the match with The worst team of the current RPL season is Sochi. Who will now take this “damned” post? The Sport correspondent collected and studied potential candidates.
Pascal Jansen The possible appointment of a Dutch coach was confirmed by the main insider of world football, Fabrizio Romano. It cannot be said that Jansen is a very famous specialist. Although his AZ Alkmaar in recent seasons still tried to impose a fight on the leaders of the local championship — Ajax and Feyenoord. He worked there for several seasons and was fired for unsatisfactory results in January of this year.
Several parallels can be drawn with Abascal: an unpromoted name, relatively little experience in adult football and abroad. Plus, he’s a foreigner with his own vision of the game. Jansen relies on high and intense pressing with fast, vertical football. A significant role is assigned to the laterals and extreme forwards. Fortunately, Pascal will have someone to choose from, since Spartak has no problems with the depth of the squad.
You can count on the rebirth of defender Oleg Ryabchuk, further progress of Daniil Khlusevich and the entrustment of leadership qualities to Theo Bongonda. In addition, Jansen enjoys working with young people. So it is unlikely that we will see a repetition of situations when the same Ruslan Litvinov did not receive sufficient playing time. And it will be more convenient for the newcomer Manfred Ugalda to find himself under the guidance of a coach who knows his strengths very well.
It is clear that this candidate is on the short list of the Red-White sporting director Tomas Amaral. And he will certainly find many arguments in a conversation with shareholders. He will try to explain why it is necessary to bring another no-name to Moscow right now. But is this necessary for the leadership of Spartak, which has already had enough of everything with Abascal?
Stanislav CherchesovRight now, the name of the ex-head coach of the Russian national team is the strongest candidate on the local market. Cherchesov himself has stated more than once that he is not currently looking for options to work in foreign clubs. Like, “in this situation I should be useful to my country.” Is this not a signal for RPL clubs? The trouble is that there have been no vacancies for a long time. The clubs that experienced a severe storm during the season did not match Cherchesov’s level of ambition. And the top teams for the time being did not make any drastic steps.
It seems that one could think about Krasnodar, but the owner of the club, Sergei Galitsky, has his own view of football. Therefore, instead of something radically new during a difficult period, he returned to the well-forgotten old one — Murad Musaev. «Locomotive»? Yes, the spring turned out to be difficult, but Mikhail Galaktionov seems to have a crazy amount of credibility. Which, by the way, he justifies at the very least. “Dynamo” hasn’t been shining lately either, but Marcel Licka can be calm about his place. At least in the near future.
But then Spartak appears on the horizon. One of the most important clubs in Cherchesov’s life. If not the most important. But the situation is developing in such a way that one believes more in the options voiced above than in the return of Stanislav Salamovich. The focus on foreign candidates, the reluctance of management to redistribute internal flows of influence, plus the not-so-good history of the relationship between fans and Cherchesov — with such introductory information, it is almost impossible to believe in the appointment of a hero of the home world championship. But nothing can be guaranteed, this is Spartak.
Vladimir IvichSerb disappeared from the information field against the backdrop of Musaev’s comeback to Krasnodar. But we must remember that Ivic’s not entirely logical dismissal happened precisely against the backdrop of rumors about his departure to Spartak. Now this topic has somehow died down, but after Abascal’s resignation it can (and should) gain strength again.
Ivich has positively proven himself by working in the south of Russia, and this is his powerful advantage. No one will pay attention to the weak spring of Krasnodar, which in the fall showed solid, meaningful and, in a good way, pragmatic football. There is only one question: is the Serbian specialist now ready to plunge into this reality again? In a club that is not fighting for gold and just wants to save the season. Maybe it's better to wait until summer? But in the summer this vacancy may no longer be on the market, so you need to decide right now.
< br>Valery Karpin The name of the head coach of “Rostov” and the Russian national team is heard every time the next castling takes place in Tushino. Karpin himself has repeatedly stated that a return to Spartak is all rumors. But he did not exclude such a possibility. The main message of Valery Georgievich is that anything can happen in life, you can’t promise it. But right now he is responsible for both the national team and the Rostov team. “Rostov” had unlimited trust in Karpin, so his departure for the sake of “Spartak” is a dubious prospect. It seems that as long as the coach’s cooperation with Rostov is at least a little useful, it will not be terminated.
We should not forget about Karpin’s complex relationship with Spartak as a club. Yes, Leonid Fedun, who previously called the specialist a “downed pilot,” is no longer in it. But who knows how the members of the board of directors feel about him? After all, they observed the activities of Valery Georgievich while still at the post of general director. If the process of “returning Karpin” is launched, it will take a long time, painfully and without a guarantee of success. And the “red-white” bosses don’t have much time.
