St. Former St. Petersburg head coach Zenit Vlastimil Petrzhela said during his tenure in the Russian Premier League (RPL) that almost all Russian coaches could work in Europe. His words are quoted Sports24.
“I always wanted to beat the Moscow teams; They were my main rivals and it didn’t matter who the coach was. In principle, I had no problems with the coaches. There were powerful experts in Russia. I can say that at that time almost all Russian coaches were able to work in Europe. At that time, everyone respected Russia. Your country is very strong!” – said Petrzhela.
Petrzhela coached Zenit from 2003 to 2006. Under his leadership the team once became the silver medalist of the Russian Championship. The blue-white sky blues won the Premier League Cup in 2003 by beating Chernomorets.
Last season Zenit won the Russian championship for the fourth time in a row. The blue-white-blue team defeated CSKA in the penalty shoot-out in the Russian Super Cup match on July 15.
After 10 rounds in the RPL, Zenit has 17 points. The team is in fourth place in the rankings.
