Reaction to former CSKA Moscow football player Valery Masalitin words Khimki’s mentor, Spartak Gogniev, said he was ready to be sacked from the club after a crushing defeat from Krasnodar (0:6).
“If Gogniev leaves, a new person will come with his own views on football. It will start rebuilding something. It’s not good anymore. There are only a few games left until the end of the league. If you return someone, you must call Yuran. But I think you won’t go to Khimki anymore. What good is Gogniev’s departure?!
Maybe there will be a second coach who knows the team from the inside instead of Gogniev. Questions about Gogniev’s resignation should be asked to the leadership. We don’t know what the situation is in the club. If the atmosphere is bad, the coach should be fired. If the atmosphere is good, Gogniev should stay,” said Masalitin socialbites.ca.
Khimki is in 15th place with 13 points at the end of 21 weeks. At the moment, the team is headed by Spartak Gogniev – under his leadership, Khimki won only one of 17 matches. It is worth noting that Khimki started the season with Sergey Yuran as the head coach. After the victory over Torpedo, he was dismissed, replaced by Nikolai Pisarev, but only one month in the post, after which he was replaced by Gogniev.
