Daria Karpina, the wife of Russian National Team Head Coach Valery Karpin, commented on the words of the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin about the possibility of the coach leaving the national team.
“I do not want to comment on this. As Valery Georgievich said, it means that it is. I am not the coach of the Russian national team and I do not know how to talk. How do other people know how to behave? They are not in his place. All the time from the couch to everyone what to do and how “I fully support my husband in everything,” says Karpina. “Sport Express”.
Recall that Valery Karpin, in a recent conversation with reporters, admitted that he did not occupy a place in the national team and in the club. After that, his words caused a storm of public debate. So Oleg Matytsin believes his coach should decide if he is with his country.
In July 2021, Karpin, who became the head coach of Rostov, became the head of the Russian national team. Initially, the specialist was planned to combine work in the national team and in Rostov, but in early August he announced that he decided to focus on the national team, after which he left the club. After the removal of the Russian national team, he again began to combine managerial positions in the national team and in Rostov.
