Michael Hershkowitz has tipped the Moscow-based club to rebuild their squad by making decent signings this summer
Chairman of “association of national football coach,” Michael Hershkowitz, has urged CSKA Moscow to become as good as Zenit St. Petersburg in the Russian Premier League by strengthening their side in the upcoming summer transfer
window.
The fact that the Koni’s last season was not up to the standards displeases Hershkowitz, who believes that the time has come when the Moscow-based club need some changes at Luzhniki stadium.
“CSKA, led by Leonid Slutsky, are a well-organized team. But the team is lacking quality players at the moment. It looks like Akinfeev, Honda, Dzagoev, Ignashevich are upset with the failures. If CSKA can get in the transfer market,
they will be able to compete with Zenit.” Hershkowitz was quoted as saying.
CSKA had a poor league campaign last season in which they failed to secure UEFA Champions League berth after finishing 3rd on the league table. The Koni also missed a decent chance to win their third league title after
they were leapfrogged by Zenit in the second league round.
Consequently, the future of Leonid Slutsky is under fresh scrutiny. Media reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 suggest that the Armeytsy are not satisfied with the former Uralan Elista manager and are ready to show him the exit door this summer.
If speculations are to be believed, the Policemen are considering a few candidates for the managerial position at Moscow. Kuban Krasnodar’s Dan Petrescu, Alania Vladikavkaz’s Valery Gazzaev and Rubin Kazan’s Kurban Berdyev are
the favourites to become new CSKA manager.
Hershkowitz is of the belief that CSKA can become stronger as compared to Zenit, if they conduct good business in the transfer window. The Armeytsy need a striker badly as they have failed to score more goals after the departure

The chairman went on to urge the Russian outfit to hold on to their star players if they are to win the league title next season and gave examples of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Doumbia-c33175.
