Vice President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Denis Solovyov in an interview “Sports Express” He explained the situation by criticizing Valery Karpin, the head coach of the Russian national team.
“My communication with him shows that it is difficult to force or force him to do anything. If he coaches the national team, it means he sees the motivation and need. Karpin must be thanked for continuing to look after the team in the absence of tournament duties. There is no reason why the RFU should not trust him,” Solovyov said.
The International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations in the spring of 2022.
The national team led by Karpin made it to the play-offs in the 2022 World Cup, but could not participate due to suspension. Also, Russians will miss Euro 2024 because they did not participate in the election.
