Karpin has denied the reports that Spartak Moscow have signed a contract with former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 manager and commented on his side’s recent performances
Spartak Moscow head coach, Valery Karpin, has denied reports that the Moscow-based club has reached an agreement with Unai Emery to take the coaching role at Luzhniki stadium. The Russian tactician rebuffed the rumours, admitting
that the Myaso are yet to sign a contract with the former Valencia manager.
Media reports in Russia suggested that Emery, who had expressed a desire to leave Spain this summer, is set to replace Karpin at the Moscow-based club after resigning from the post of head coach at Estadio Mestalla.
“It is time to leave Spain. The cold does not bother me. I think the Russian http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 will help me grow as a professional and I think it’s a decent opportunity.” Emery had said
Emery, 40, has had a decent La Liga campaign with the Spanish outfit this season. He led Els Taronja to the UEFA Champions League spot, having claimed a third-spot already with just one league game remaining.
The former Real Sociedad coach is rumoured to replace under-fire manager, Karpin, after a series of disappointing results in the Russian Premier League, during the summer transfer window.
However, Karpin blamed the media for making up such stories and assured the fans of updating them should he decide to leave the Russian outfit this summer.
“Spartak have not signed any contract with Emery despite the news suggesting the details of the contract and dates. Emery is one of the best coaches in Spain who can replace me at the end of the season but the club management has
not given their final verdict and there’s nothing concrete yet.” The Russian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Karpin, who had played for Valencia and Real Sociedad during his professional playing career, admitted that Emery has earned a lot of respect during the years in Spain.
Speaking on Spartak’s ongoing league campaign, Karpin revealed that the Spartachi need to improve, and urged his side to win the upcoming match against Lokomotiv Moscow.
