Well-known football manager German Tkachenko talked about the long-standing disagreements between Krasnodar owner Sergei Galitsky and former team coach Vladimir Ivich. His words are quoted “Championship”.
“It is wrong to work in an environment where there are differences of opinion on many issues such as playing style, player recruitment, internal club communication principles.
Ivic did a great job to keep the team at the top after the first half of the championship, but he could not convince the management that he could at least stay in the top three, adding to the built-up resentment. This forced Galitsky to make a difficult decision,” Tkachenko said.
On March 13, Krasnodar announced that Vladimir Ivich had resigned as head coach.
The Serbian specialist took over the club in January 2023. Under his leadership, the team finished sixth in the Russian Championship last season and reached the final of the National Cup, where they lost to CSKA in a penalty shoot-out.
This season, Krasnodar ranks second in the Russian Premier League (RPL) with 39 points. Leader Zenit has one more point. In the next round, Krasnodar will face Lokomotiv, which is fifth (32 points).
Previously, Ivic was expelled from Krasnodar connected With Spartak.
