Not all specialists have a good reputation.
Vladimir Fedotov
Former coach CSKASochi and Orenburg are different from their colleagues on this list. He had good results. Won the cup with the army team and finished second in the league with CSKA and Sochi. Fedotov stands out for his modern approach compared to colleagues of his age RPL. Unfortunately, there are still few coaches who study statistics and know how to read tactics at the level of graduates from Spanish or German schools. Although CSKA Fedotov has had some bad matches, the coach’s qualifications are not in question. He suggested that he did not consider Nikolic’s work to be stronger than his own. We don’t discuss here CSKA did not return without strengthening the management group. Vladimir Valentinovich talks about a family tragedy, because of which he was temporarily distracted from thoughts about a new job. But we have no doubt that this mentor will reappear on the club bench. RPL. There are few free and competent specialists in the country. But it is more difficult to attract powerful foreigners because there are no European Cups and no proper selection. Fedotov also suffered CSKA partly because of low earnings. They almost demanded a championship fight, but the club does not have the capacity to recruit the right players. By the fall, Fedotov was linked with Rubin, but Rakhimov remained in his position, despite rumors of illness and the expiration of his contract.
Sergei Ignachevich
Young mentor, legend CSKA. But Ignashevich is unlikely to coach the military team in the near future. Once upon a time there was a defender who ended up in a Moscow club from neighboring Lokomotiv, receiving seven times as much money. He won many trophies with his new team. But at the same time, even with his own goalkeeper Akinfeev, Ignashevich had an incredibly difficult relationship. Igor Vladimirovich sends Sergei Nikolaevich three-letter as Zenit scores prestige goal CSKAlosing 1:3. Moreover, this is not a story of rumors, but of information from the former Baltika coach. Ignashevich was often right in his clashes with Akinfeev. The goalkeeper had a complex character in his youth. But Ignashevich isn’t always right as a head coach. Although this is a promising coach, with whom poor Baltika played well against Zenit in the National Cup final. We lost late in the match, but Ignashevich played clear football. It’s just that his style is unlikely to suit Krylia Sovetov, where they wanted to see a specialist before the players’ move in favor of the experienced Osinkin. Which of the clubs RPL will he trust Ignashevich in the spring? The coach is waiting for invitations. Although he played defense himself, he understands attacking football. With a decent lineup, he will definitely try to control the ball and work wide.
Sergey Yuran
Fedotov can be called a football geek. Ignashevich can be called a young mentor with fresh ideas and incredible experience as a top footballer with Champions League playoffs and serious national team tournaments behind him. And Juran, although he also handled the ball well, cannot be called an intellectual mentor with an incredibly modern approach. But Sergei Nikolaevich played defensive football in some teams, which his colleagues subsequently failed to achieve. But Yuran is still associated with rather ridiculous scandals. Some have been accused of trying to convince Karpin to trade victories. Yuran suffered a series of defeats in Nizhny Novgorod, after which he was exchanged for an average foreign specialist. Yuran knows how to prepare players, he even reached the National Cup final with Khimki. Unlike Ignashevich, he saved the middle peasants from relegation at the last moment, participating in the playoffs. Yuran can lead one of the clubs RPL in the future. Although it is important for the former Benfica and Spartak striker to join a team with an owner who fully understands why he needs a colorful coach. If you demand from Yuran what he cannot give by definition, then it is better not to get involved. Sergei Nikolaevich has coaching instincts, unlike other former Spartak players.
Igor Shalimov
A little in RPL coaches with Russian passports who have experience in fighting for high places. Slutsky cannot be mentioned in such a conversation at this time. Leonid Viktorovich almost became the champion of China. Previously, he won the Super Cup of a huge country and can try to improve the results of the current team in the new season. Kerzhakov decided to live abroad. He worked in Cyprus and tried unsuccessfully in Serbia and Kazakhstan. This is not the best track record for a serious club in RPL. The former Zenit striker never rose to high positions as a coach. And Berdyev is now 72 years old. Veteran and legend Rubin works in Azerbaijan, like Vasily Berezutsky. That leaves Igor Shalimov, who has not appeared on the sidelines since August 2022. RPL. I left the Urals and did not find a new interesting job. You can understand why there are no invitations. Fedotov has coaching level. Yuran is a colorful mentor. Ignashevich is a young specialist who can learn. What does Shalimov have that he can be entrusted with a great team in RPL? In Krasnodar, Galitsky liked the coach, but the Serbian Vladimir Ivich showed how to rebuild the “citizens” in a champion way. Now they are fighting for the title with Musaev.
If a rich club RPL If they need a mentor, they would prefer to invite the still free Serbian Ivic rather than going to Shalimov after his work in Khimki, Akhmat and Ural. The training workshop RPL New names are needed, but for that we need to rebuild the academy. Although there is a circle of former footballers, money is tight in their pockets. Ready to pay for training and licensing. But most won’t need a degree, like Andrei Arshavin, who has no plans to become a head coach. But I have a license. It would be better to look for talented and motivated people, train them to the detriment RFUs. It is then not necessary to force middle and strong peasants RPL drown under the leadership of foreigners of a controversial standard, or you can find your own Nagelsmann and Tuchel. The Germans did not play football at the level of Ignashevich and Shalimov, but they coach Germany and England and are not waiting for a call from Orenburg.
