Andrey Kanchelskis, former player of Manchester United and the Russian national team, commented on the words of Spartak Gogniev, former coach of Khimki.
Kanchelskis had previously allowed himself to criticize the coach. On May 16, Gogniev said in an interview: “They can say what they want, but they have no right to go to personal insults. Let them see me and say it to my face. I’m even ready to meet them on the federal channel.”
“Why should I go out with him? Who is he? I think we’ll meet and talk sooner or later. If that’s what he wants, let him find me somewhere. I’m not hiding from anyone.
I respect any coach, but not when the coach deals with populism. He was dealing with populism, ask any expert. Anyone who says this isn’t true throw a stone at me,” Kanchelskis quotes “Sport Express”.
Khimki announced Gogniev’s resignation on April 3. Now the club near Moscow is headed by Andrey Talalaev. After the 27th week of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Khimki scored 18 points and took the penultimate 15th place in the standings.
