Before the start of the Russian Football Championship, four clubs changed coaches
[ad_1]
Heads fly from the shoulders one after another
Football is merciless to its adherents. Before we had time to come to our senses, we were already behind almost a third of the Russian championship. It would seem that it was just the middle of July, the summer heat, the first matches, the first victories and defeats, and already the ninth round was in the yard. And the September bad weather consonates with the panicky moods of the leaders of outsider clubs, who are in the basement of the standings. And they begin to rush about in search of a way out of the steep dive into which their offspring break, sometimes making completely illogical (at first glance) decisions. Because someone has to answer for failures and, accordingly, a lot of money wasted. So coaching heads fly from the shoulders of the teams one after another. In a month and a half, five specialists have already been dismissed.
Chronicle of diving outsiders
On August 8, Ural Ekaterinburg announced the parting with the team’s head coach Igor Shalimov. At that time, following the results of four rounds of the championship, the Urals closed the standings, not having a single point scored. Shalimov was replaced by the well-known Belarusian coach Viktor Gancharenko.
On August 18, Torpedo fired Alexander Borodyuk. Instead, Nikolai Savichev became the head coach.
On September 6, Fakel Voronezh announced the parting with head coach Oleg Vasilenko by mutual agreement. They say that Igor Cherevchenko can replace him.
But most of all, Khimki from the Moscow region distinguished themselves. On August 10, Sergey Yuran was dismissed. This decision surprised many. Because under his leadership, Khimki not only retained their RPL registration last season, but also managed to draw with Zenit in the first rounds of this championship, defeat Nizhny Novgorod, and beat Torpedo big. The only defeat was from Rostov, but Karpin’s team is still objectively stronger than half of the Premier League teams. After Yuran came Pisarev. And the red-blacks “fell down”, conceding three or four goals in each match. Pisarev was replaced by Spartak Gogniev, and the media even wrote that they could allegedly ask Yuran to return. Such leapfrog, as all MK experts rightly point out, primarily negatively affects the psychology of football players. Who simply cease to understand what is happening, why they fire a coach who achieves victories, and instead begin to recruit others with kaleidoscopic speed. However, the problems of the Moscow Region team may turn out to be much deeper, since, following Pisarev, Khimki investor Tufan Sadigov decided to dismiss the entire management of the club.
And Pisarev, by the way, has already returned to the coaching staff of the Russian national team, as its head coach Valery Karpin said at his press conference on September 13.

Why is this happening? Was it really the fault of all the “retirees” that was so great? It is difficult to answer these questions. Everything that happens in the management of the clubs, in the heads of their owners and sponsors, no one knows except themselves. And what seems illogical to us may have quite ordinary, everyday motives. Someone did not put a relative of the owner of the team in the starting lineup, someone did not agree with the transfer policy of the club’s directorate, someone simply fell under a hot hand after a devastating defeat. Indeed, as Valery Gazzaev, one of the most respected domestic coaches, rightly said in an interview with MK, “when there is no result, it is not the players who are to blame, but the head coach.”
In fact, it’s not only our team coaches who are the first in line for dismissal if their players lose. The management of Chelsea after the defeat by Dynamo Zagreb in the first match of the group stage of the Champions League “demolished” Thomas Tuchel. Under which, by the way, in the offseason they bought new players for 300 million euros. And the German Leipzig, after the defeat in the same Champions League from Shakhtar, fired Domenico Tedesco, who we knew well, who had previously taken the RPL silver medal with Spartak. So it turns out that there is not always logic in these resignations. Because football lives with emotions more often than with reason.
