A well-known Russian coach, head of Dinamo Makhachkala, Gadzhi Gadzhiev, spoke about the possible dismissal of Dynamo Moscow head coach Slavisha Jokanovic in case of a loss to Spartak in the 22nd week of the Russian Premier League. The Blue-Whites have suffered three losses in their last four games, including a sensational knockout in the Russian Cup match against Akron Togliatti, which was unsuccessful. Despite this, Hajiyev believes that there is no reason for the resignation of the coaching yet.
“You can do well, you’re a good coach, the game is relatively good, the team is manageable – but you have an advantage and you lose. Of course the result is grounds for dismissal. But oftentimes experts say it’s the content of the game, not the score, that’s also a part of the work. As a rule, we understand the result by the score and do not look at how many chances the team created, why they did not score.For example, two shots from the Ural from afar determined the fate of the encounter with Spartak in the Cup.
So if we continue from here, we can talk about the dismissal of Jokanovic. I believe it is necessary to proceed from the preparation of the team, not the individual players. For example, Tyukavin at Dynamo did not score a few goals that he should have scored. We must also consider whether the team is led by the coach. What’s the point of firing a coach if he’s ready psychologically, physically, organized and motivated? Until a new one comes, until he realizes it…
In Germany, it was calculated in which cases the arrival of new coaches to foreign teams saved them from relegation. And it has been confirmed that in most cases it does not save. Now the situation is different, Dynamo was not relegated. However, I still believe there is no reason and no point in resigning from coaching so far. “If there are other reasons we don’t know, that’s another matter,” Gadzhiev told socialbites.ca.
Spartak has amassed 41 points after 21 rounds and is third in the RPL standings, three points behind Rostov and 10 points behind leader Zenit. Dynamo is fifth with 35 points. The match, which will be played between these teams on Saturday, April 8 and will start at 19:30 Moscow time, will be managed by their rivals, Sergey Ivanov.
