The answer will only become clear when that happens.
I’ve been given the necessary time to rest.
Valery Georgievich had long deserved to leave for a promotion. Being named to the Russian national team was a logical continuation of his career development – in Rostov, where he had long developed as a specialist and had reached his peak. The southerners, with very modest resources, fought with CSKA and Spartak for medals; the following year, they were immediately ranked among the top clubs, as all five were seven points behind. And when Karpin said goodbye to the team in February, the Rostovites were all in seventh place. This indicator of abnormal stability is the main reason why it’s time to move to a top club.
At the same time, the specialist needed time to recover. Once again, with Rostov, he achieved abnormal results – the team was a threat even to clubs with large budgets and the task of fighting for the title. This despite Rostov’s own small budget, logistical problems, and low interest from top players (he had to unearth talent). And now, adding to this the fact that his family lives in Estonia, it’s extremely problematic to get there from Rostov-on-Don.
Summary – The decision to move Rostov to a big city club with appropriate responsibilities has long been considered. And Karpin’s spring break from work has come from elsewhere – now he himself says he’s in negotiations. IN
Russian soccer team They rested for a long time Then, in February, the talks between Karpin and Dynamo arose – the bar still had a face, but there were a lot of complaints about the coach. Given that the “blue and white” were ready to go to the castle, it’s surprising that the decision dragged on until the summer. And it’s very likely that the point here isn’t just the specialist’s fatigue. In early May, agent Timur Gurtskaya noted that the likelihood of Karpin’s appointment to Dynamo was extremely low – the negotiations were moving slowly. At the same time, after the end of the season, the situation suddenly changed, and in parallel with this, the president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Alexander Dyukov noted: I have repeatedly stated that it is better for us that the coach works only with the national team. The national team does not participate in official tournaments. You know, the club itself has received permission to negotiate. We will not oppose these negotiations, but on the condition that when the national team returns to official tournaments, he will complete the combination. According to the latest data, the key issue was coordinating the trade with the Russian Football Association (RFU). The organization opposed the trade. At the same time, it was noted that the trade could directly affect Karpin’s income—supposedly, if he worked at the club on the side, his national team salary would be significantly reduced. If so, Dynamo had to obtain consent and negotiate with Karpin on how to block the withdrawal of income.
Karpin is a discipline; there’s a problem with the legionnaires. But now, an elite specialist has appeared on the radar, one who is well suited to the club’s requirements. First, he is capable of building a solid project (“Rostov” is a prime example). Moreover, Valery Georgievich won’t ignore defensive play, will get used to competent pressure and – most importantly – discipline. There are concerns about the Legionnaires—it’s hard to imagine Butello’s fate if he were to play with Karpin’s team. He would either continue to receive Karrascal training, despite his impulsive, quick-tempered nature, or be benched. Communication with the players will likely change now—it takes time to adapt. The dilemma will inevitably lie ahead of Karpin—Dynamo will always have to act with an eye toward
Karpin’s goal is tectonic shifts. On paper, he’s a long-term coach who will determine the direction of further development. Such an appointment still requires appropriate actions—the selection of players for promotion and transfer spending. The key problem is that, due to the combination, it’s simply impossible to trust the coach. Muscovites will have to act with an eye on all cases.
It’s unclear how long the delay will be at Dynamo—it could stretch over several years, or it could be limited to a few months. And it doesn’t depend on the club’s satisfaction with the results. It all comes down to when the national team starts to return to structure FIFAAnd Uefa . Dyukov himself has already noted that the combination is possible, as long as there are no official matches yet – this means that after their return

A pause will be held.
And then a dilemma will arise for Karpin. Dynamo is a cool, promising project with an experienced leadership team, and the “blue and white” are willing to spend money if it involves a coach who suits them. Competing for the title is a great motivation after long-term work with the average person. But how can you refuse to work for the national team? The specialist worked with the national team’s qualifying cycle for the 2022 World Cup, but couldn’t even finish the task due to the political situation, and now he plays exclusively in friendly matches with teams that offer no resistance. And when will he be able to fight for entry to the Euro again?
