Ulyanovsk residents are indignant about the departure of Alexander Savchenko, as expected in Khabarovsk

The head coach of Volga Ulyanovsk terminated his contract with the club

We wrote yesterday that there are persistent rumors in Ulyanovsk that the head coach of the local Volga, Alexander Savchenko, is ready to move to Khabarovsk, where the position of head coach of SKA-Neftyanik awaits him.

Even about this wrote in the newspapers. But Ulyanovsk fans refused to believe that the coach, who had worked at the club for five years and spent the entire pre-season preparation this year, decided to leave the team.

But it still happened. In its official account, Volga announced the departure of Alexander Nikolaevich.

“Thank you for your work, Alexander Nikolaevich! By mutual agreement of the parties, HC Volga and head coach Alexander Savchenko terminated the current contract. Over the five years of work at Volga, Alexander Nikolaevich has established himself as a Professional with a capital P. Our club is grateful to Alexander Savchenko for his invaluable assistance in the development of our team. We wish Alexander Nikolaevich only success in his future coaching career,” noted the HC “Volga”.

Needless to say, those who sincerely care about the Ulyanovsk club became worried.

“Leaving for SKA? “Who’s in charge now?” he asks. Vyacheslav Kuzin.

“Thank you for the good work, it will be sad to come back. Good luck in everything,” wishes Sergey Sadchikov.

“Before the season starts? Hmm…”, comments Vladimir Finko

“Vladimir, I agree, it’s a vile act,” he agrees Alexander Ukhanov

“Alexander, vile, that’s putting it mildly,” he says Igor Arefiev

“He won’t be there for long. They will eat him. The same players. They do whatever they want there. But leaving now when the team is preparing for the championship is disrespect for the team,” he believes Alexander Ukhanov.

“Well, the main question is, who is in charge now? It’s preferable without the IO prefix,” he worries Igor Arefiev.

Oddly enough, Khabarovsk fans of Russian hockey are now worried about the same questions. Club hasn’t announced yet who will lead the team during the matches for the Super Cup and in the National Championship. Well, the main thing that fans in Khabarovsk fear is the departure of players. However, there is less than a month left before the start of the Championship.
