Former striker of the Russian national team Dmitry Bulykin spoke about the appointment of 45-year-old Spaniard Josep Clotet to the head coach of the Moscow Torpedo. He believes that the specialist will be allowed to work, but he is unlikely to save the team from relegation from the Russian Premier League (RPL).
At least 6 months later, we will be able to evaluate it at the end of the season. Most likely, he will be allowed to work later, but given that the situation in Torpedo is deplorable, it will be difficult for them to get out, and this coach will work in the First Division, ”said Bulykin socialbites.ca.
Josep Clotet started his coaching career in Catalonia and ran local club Cornella for two years. He then coached the youth team and the Espanyol duo before traveling abroad. He also managed to work in Sweden, Norway, England and Italy. Their last clubs were Italian Brescia and SPAL. He became the first foreign head coach in Torpedo history.
After 20 laps, Torpedo closes the RPL standings, separating the Muscovites by just 10, seven points from the playoff zone. During the entire championship they won only two wins, one of which was technical: in the final round, Pari NN suffered a defeat in the game with Torpedo due to the participation of Yaroslav Mikhailov, who was disqualified.
