Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov talked about his reaction to the dismissal of the team’s head coach Vladimir Ivich. His words are quoted “Championship”.
“I learned the news of Ivic’s resignation at a time when I was no longer in the team’s favor. It is very difficult to shock and scare me. I am not afraid of change. After learning about Ivic’s resignation, I did not focus on negative or questionable issues. How positive this is for me personally and for the team I immediately thought it was.
It is in this spirit that I received this information. I believe that change is almost always good,” said Safonov.
On March 13, Krasnodar announced that Vladimir Ivich had resigned as head coach.
