Russian Football Union Secretary General Maxim Mitrofanov commented on the appointment Valeria Karpina to Dynamo. For this reason, the coach will combine work for the club and the Russian national team.
During the period when our team is not participating in sports competitions, the intersection of any interests is minimal. But in a situation where the team is participating in competitions, of course, its influence on the events of the Russian championship would be much greater. Therefore, we were ready to ensure that Valery Georgievich combined posts. And he first came to the national team, combining posts. Therefore, we were not opposed when he raised the question of whether he could conduct negotiations. We didn’t mind, but with the caveat that this is only possible until the national team participates in tournaments.
Karpin signed a contract with Dynamo on June 13. Earlier, it was reported that the coach’s work within the team will be a higher priority than that of the Moscow club.
