Well-known commentator and blogger Vasily Utkin, telegraph channel commented expression Former CSKA coach Valery Gazzaev, who expressed the opinion that Russian coaches are not in demand in Europe due to Leonid Slutsky’s bad experience.
“You can’t call Slutsky’s field a success, but to argue that this is some kind of fence blocking the way for Russian coaches to Europe is absurd. Byshovets worked in Portugal. Karpin worked in Spain. These are all one-off events, all fail.
Russian coaching school, sorry, no. For example, after winning the UEFA Cup, no one offered Gazzaev a job, but success, ”wrote Utkin.
Slutsk CSKA from 2009 to 2016. Together with the “Soldiers” he became the champion of Russia three times, and twice won the country’s Cup and Super Cup. At club level, he also coached English side Hull City and Dutch side Vitesse.
From 2015 to 2016, Slutsky combined work in CSKA and the Russian national team. Under his leadership, the national team was selected for the 2016 European Championship, but could not prove himself in the tournament and did not leave the group, after which he left the post of coach. Slutsky’s last place of work was Rubin Kazan.
