Former Fakel coach Dmitry Pyatibratov responded to the words of Leonid Slutsky, who said that in the Voronezh club the main decisions are made by the leadership, and the coach only provides the training process.
“It’s all wrong. No one except the head coach can influence the selection of the starting lineup. The sports block is working on the selection by examining the players. The final decision was taken with me. No players were taken without my knowledge.
Anyone who thinks that Fakel’s leadership determines the composition should come and say it to my face. I would love to laugh at this man. If that really happened, why would they need a coach? – quotes the words of an expert sports24.
On September 18, 2022, 46-year-old Pyatibratov was appointed head coach of the Voronezh team. The departure was announced on April 30. The contract was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.
