Shanghai Shenhua head coach Leonid Slutsky discussed the possible transfer of the Russian football player to the Chinese championship. His words are quoted “Match TV”.
“We have a lot of quality football players, but in China there is a very strict limit, there can only be five foreign players in the team. Considering that some Chinese teams have foreign players who have played in the RPL before, there will be a lot of Russians who can strengthen Chinese clubs. The question is why Russian football players should go to China and play in the domestic championship,” Slutsky said.
The last place of work of Leonid Slutsky was Kazan “Rubin”. Under his leadership, the team took the penultimate place in the Russian Premier League (RPL) in the 2021/22 season and was relegated to the First League.
Slutsky is also known for his work at CSKA Moscow. He led the team to the RPL title three times, won the domestic Cup and the Super Cup twice.
Slutsky led the Russian national team from 2015 to 2016. Under his leadership, the national team took fourth place in its group at the 2016 European Championship.
He took charge of Shanghai Shenhua in December 2023.
