The candidate for the position of head coach of Tekstilshchik was previously involved in scandals

2023 was definitely not the best year in Igor Kolyvanov’s coaching career. The former footballer of Dynamo Moscow and some European clubs took charge of Tekstilshchik before the start of the 2022-2023 season and was supposed to return the red-blacks to the First League, but was unable to complete the task set by the management. Tekstilshchik took 4th place at the end of the 2022-2023 season, behind Leningradets, Murom and Spartak from Kostroma. In the fall, Tekstilshchik was left without promotion to the Golden Division and potential entry into the First League.

Many experts and fans believe that Igor Kolyvanov should be dismissed as soon as possible and a replacement should be looked for, but they do not take into account that all the top mentors are already busy. After November 11, 2 candidates were named for the post of head coach of Tekstilshchik, but both of them are doubtful, especially for Alexander Grigoryan. A media specialist in all respects, he previously worked in many RPL and First League clubs. His last place of work was Kuban; in Krasnodar he was dismissed due to poor results.

In many teams, Alexander Grigoryan got into various scandals related to rivals, journalists and fans. I remember the case of 2018, when Alexandra Grigoryan worked in Vladivostok, where the locals did not like him for his work at SKA-Khabarovsk. At the away match in Voronezh, a live rooster flew from the Luch fans’ sector towards Alexander Grigoryan, which showed the attitude of the yellow-blue fans towards their mentor, who had previously worked in the competitors’ camp.
