Newly promoted Russian Premier League side, Mordovia Saransk’s head coach,
Fyodor Shcherbachenko has admitted that he was saddened to learn of Andrei Kobelev’s departure from FC Krylia Sovetov Samara on Wednesday.
Kobelev’s departure from Metallurg stadium was confirmed yesterday after a week of speculations surrounding the 44-year-old’s future. The Wings of the soviet’s worst start to the Russian champions was highlighted as the main reason
behind his exit.
There is little arguing to the statement that Kobelev paid the price of a disappointing start to the league campaign this term after suffering 8 defeats, recording 5 draws and claiming just 3 wins since the start of the season.
The Russian tactician, meanwhile, failed to get desired results in the Russian cup after recording a pulsating 2-1 defeat against Anzhi Makhachkala at Dynamo stadium (Makhachkala) last month.
Above all, the Russian outfit has failed to claim a win since their 3-2 win over the Saransk-based club at Start stadium in mid-September, extending their winless streak to 7 league games.
Shcherbachenko lamented Kobelev’s shocking departure and blamed the growing competition between coaches to take the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
“I respect Kobelev and sorry about his departure from the club because I think he is still a high level manager. I think he should be worried about the situation because he is able to achieve considerable coaching success in the
near future.”
“You know, we have such a cruel world of football, where there is much competition among coaches in any particular championship.”
“I think that poor performance decided his future. To some extent, you can say that, I am in a similar situation. I do not know when I will be fired. Such things are inevitable in coaching.” The Football Championship of the National
League winner was quoted as saying.
If speculation is to be believed, former Dynamo Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow manager, Aleksandr Borodyuk, is likely to replace Kobelev at the Russian outfit after resigning as Dynamo Moscow’s athletic director.
